Question

Remo walked $\frac{17}{7}$ miles and Lizy walked $\frac{13}{7}$ miles. How many miles have they walked in total?

• A. $\frac{30}{7}$
• B. $\frac{4}{7}$
• C. $\frac{20}{7}$
• D. None of these

Answer 1

The correct option is A $\frac{30}{7}$

Miles covered by Remo $=\frac{17}{7}$
Miles covered by Lizy $=\frac{13}{7}$

Total distance = $\frac{17}{7}+\frac{13}{7}$

As the denominators of the fractions are the same, so the numerators can be added directly and denominator remains the same.

$=\frac{17+13}{7}$ (Like fractions)

$=\frac{30}{7}$

Hence, they have walked $\frac{30}{7}$ miles in total.
