Answer:
Brandon is correct
Step-by-step explanation:
Brandon is running errands for his mother.
It is 1/4 mile from his house to the library and 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.
Distance from his house to the library = 1/4 mile
Distance from the library to the grocery store = 2/3 mile
Total distance Brandon walks from his house to the library to the grocery store = Distance from his house to the library + Distance from the library to the grocery store
= 1/4 + 2/3
Make both 1/4 and 2/3 have the same denominator to be able to add
The lowest common multiple (LCM) of 4 and 3 is 12
Therefore,
1/4 + 2/3
= (3+8)/12
= 11/12
Total distance Brandon walks from his house to the library to the grocery store = 11/12 mile
