Answer

Problem

Willey walked \$3/5\$ of a mile yesterday and \$7/10\$ of a mile today. How far did he walk altogether?

Clue

Altogether implies adding up

Addition

Hint

Operator used : Addition

Step

Distance walked by Willey yesterday

\$3/5\$
⇒\$3/5 \times 2/2 = 6/10\$ [∵ We multiply with \$2/2\$ to get same denominator]

Step

Distance walked by him today

\$7/10\$

Step

Distance walked by him altogether

\$6/10 + 7/10 = 13/10\$

\$13/10\$

Step

Hence, distance walked by him altogether is

\$13/10\$ (or) \$1 3/10\$
