A park ranger hiked 1/4 mi to a lookout, another 1/3 mi to a bird's nest, and finally 5/6
campsite. How far did the park ranger hike?

The park ranger hiked how many mi?

Respuesta :

The park ranger hike is "1.25 miles" far.

According to the question:

  • Hiked to a lookout = [tex]\frac{3}{4} \ mi[/tex]
  • Hiked to a bird's nest = [tex]\frac{1}{3} \ mi[/tex]
  • Hiked to a composite = [tex]\frac{1}{6} \ mi[/tex]

→ The total hike park ranger will be:

= [tex]\frac{3}{4} +\frac{1}{3} +\frac{1}{6}[/tex]

By taking L.C.M, we get

= [tex]\frac{9+4+2}{12}[/tex]

= [tex]\frac{15}{12}[/tex]

= [tex]1.25 \ mile[/tex]
