You can put this solution on YOUR website! 5 1/3=16/3
2 1/4=9/4
3 1/2=7/2 NOW ADD
16/3+9/4+7/2 NEED TO FIND A COMMON DENOMINATOR THAT ALL DENOMINATORS DIVIDE EVENLY INTO.
4*3 LOOKS LIKE AN OPTION
16/3+9/4+7/2
(4*16+3*9+6*7)/12
(64+27+42)/12
133/12=11 1/11 MILES ANSWER.
YOU COULD CONVERT THESE FRACTIONS TO DECIMALS & ADD THEM THUS:
5.333+2.25+3.5=11.083 WHICH EQUALS 11 1/11
