8. mr. benson ran 5 2/3 miles. miss paganran 6 1/3 miles and mr. caswall ran 5 4/5miles. how many miles did the 5 gradeteachers run altogether?

17 4/5

Step-by-step explanation:

Fist, add the whole numbers.

5 + 6 + 5 = 16

Now add the fractions.

2/3 and 1/3 have the same denominator so you can add easily.

2/3 + 1/3 = 3/3 = 1

Now 16 + 1 = 17

Then what's left is Mr. Caswall's 4/5 and then we add that to 17.

So it's 17 4/5

Hope this helps!

17 4/5 miles.

Step-by-step explanation:

First add the integer parts of the mixed numbers:

5 + 5 + 6 = 16 miles.

Now add the fractions:

2/3 + 1/3 + 4/5

LCD of 3 and 5 is 15 so we have:

10/15 + 5/15 + 12/15

= 27/15

= 9/5

= 1 4/5 miles.

So our answer is 16 + 1 4/5

= 17 4/5 miles.
