Question

Remo walked $\frac{5}{17}km$ and Lizy walked $\frac{6}{17}km$. How many $km$ have they walked in total?

• A. $\frac{15}{17}km$
• B. $\frac{21}{17}km$
• C. $\frac{4}{17}km$
• D. $\frac{11}{17}km$

Answer 1

The correct option is D $\frac{11}{17}km$

Distance covered by Remo $=\frac{5}{17}km$
Distance covered by Lizy $=\frac{6}{17}km$

Total distance = $\frac{5}{17}+\frac{6}{17}$ (like fractions)

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

$=\frac{5+6}{17}$

$=\frac{11}{17}$

Hence, they have walked $\frac{11}{17}km$ in total.
