Cora is learning how to drive this weekend
Firstly, she practicedriving 3/5 of a mile with her mother
Secondl, she practice 3 2/3 miles with her father
To calculate how far Cora drive, we need to add the two miles together
[tex]\begin{gathered} \text{First mile = 3/5} \\ \text{second mile = 3}\frac{2}{3} \\ \text{Convert the mixed fraction into improper fraction} \\ 3\frac{2}{3}\text{ = }\frac{(3\text{ x 3) + 2}}{3} \\ =\text{ }\frac{9\text{ + 2}}{3} \\ =\text{ }\frac{11}{3} \\ \text{Adding the two miles together} \\ \frac{3}{5}\text{ + }\frac{11}{3} \\ \text{ Find the common denominator} \\ \text{Common denominator = 5 x 3 = 15} \\ \frac{15\frac{3}{5}\text{ + 15}\frac{11}{3}}{15} \\ \frac{(3\text{ x 3) + (5 x 11)}}{15} \\ \frac{9\text{ + 55}}{15} \\ \frac{64}{15} \\ =\text{ 4}\frac{4}{15}\text{ miles} \end{gathered}[/tex]
