after school, maurice walks 1/3 mile to the park and then walks 1/2 mile to his house. how far does maurice walk from school to his house?

Respuesta :

calculista
let
x-----> distance school to the park
y-----> distance park to the house

we know that
x=1/3 mile
y=1/2 mile

[distance from school to the house]=x+y----> (1/3+1/2)
The common denominator is (3*2)---> 6
=(2*1+3*1)/(3*2)----> 5/6 mile

the answer is
5/6 miles
