Question 1096103: These are the round-trip distances that city buses traveled on different routes each month. Calculate the total distance, in miles, that buses travel each route in one year.
350 3/5 miles to Parkville
346 3/10 miles to Green City
134 1/5 miles to Evergreen Town
327 4/5 miles to Jefferson
413 7/10 miles to Clinton City
Answer by Boreal(15235)   (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! One can add the integers 350+346+134+327+413=1570
Then add the fractions 3/5 (0.6), 3/10 (0.3), 1/5 (0.2), 45 (0.8), and 7/10 (0.7) to get 2.6
The total distance is 1572.6 miles.
When adding mixed numbers, consider adding the integers first then adding the fractions. It is often easier than making each an improper fraction.
