Question #c4bdd

Answer 1

Melissa ran `11 29/60` miles in all.

Explanation:

To solve this problem, first, you need to find a common denominator, also known as a least common multiple (LCM). The LCM of `3`, `4`, and `5` is `60`, so you know you need to change all of the fractions to a denominator of `60`.

• `2/5` is equal to `24/60`
• `3/4` is `45/60`
• `1/3` is `20/60`

Add these up and you get `89/60`. Change this into a mixed number and you get `1 29/60`. Then you add the mixed numbers and get `6+2+2`, which is `10`.

`10 + 1 29/60 = 11/60`

so this is your final answer.
