Answer:
As it is clear that adding 1/4 + 2/3 will bring 11/12. Therefore, Brandon is correct when he claims that he walks a total of 11/12 mile if he goes from his house to the library to the grocery store.
Step-by-step explanation:
As Brandon is
- 1/4 mile from his house to the library
- 2/3 mile from the library to the grocery store
Brandon claims that he walked a total of 11/12 mile if he goes from his house to the library to the grocery store
So, adding 1/4 + 2/3 would determine whether he is right or wrong.
Thus, considering the expression
[tex]\frac{1}{4}+\frac{2}{3}[/tex]
[tex]\mathrm{Least\:Common\:Multiplier\:of\:}4,\:3:\quad 12[/tex]
[tex]Adjust\:Fractions\:based\:on\:the\:LCM[/tex]
[tex]\frac{1}{4}+\frac{2}{3}=\frac{3}{12}+\frac{8}{12}[/tex]
[tex]=\frac{3+8}{12}[/tex]
[tex]=\frac{11}{12}[/tex]
As it is clear that adding 1/4 + 2/3 will bring 11/12. Therefore, Brandon is correct when he claims that he walks a total of 11/12 mile if he goes from his house to the library to the grocery store.
