Lexi mailed a letter on Monday morning. The letter traveled 1/2 of a mile on Monday. It traveled 3/4 more of a mile on Tuesday, reaching its destination on Tuesday afternoon. How
far did Lexi's letter travel in all?

1 1/4 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

3/4 + 2/4 (1/2 = 2/4) = 5/4 = 1 1/4

well there are two answers for that.

1: you need 120 ones then that will equal up to 120.

2: you could also do one 100 and 2 tens.

those are the answers that i have thought of.

3

step-by-step explanation:

in standard form:

a= dictionaries

b= maps

you have to buy 3 dictionaries, so put a 3 next to the a (dictionaries) so that you can multiply them by each other.

a3+b= 60 (the amount of money you have)

we already know the cost of a=15 so replace a with $15

($15 x 3)+b=60

multiply 15 and 3 to get $45 and replace it with $45

45+b=60

and then replace b with 15 to get the total:

45+15=60

that means you have $15 left after buying 3 dictionaries.

15 divided by the cost of a map ($5) equals 3.

so you can buy 3 maps.

sorry if it was confusing!
