Aconstruction company builds a new rail line from town a to town b. they complete 1 1/4 miles in their first week of work and 1 2/3 miles in the second week. if they still have 25 3/4 left to build, what is the distance from town a to town b ?

The distance from Town A to Town B is 28²/₃ miles

Given:

1¹/₄ miles complete in the first week

1²/₃ miles complete in the second week

25³/₄ miles left to build

Question

What is the distance from Town A to Town B?

to calculate the distance between those two town:

There are two ways to solve this fraction additional

1. Change the mixed fraction to proper fraction

so the distance between Town A to Town B is 28²/₃ miles

The fraction above is in mixed fraction, first we can change them into proper fraction then add them. When the denominator is different we need  to find a common denominator to be able to add them.

The common denominator for 4 and 3 is 12.

2. Other way is mixed fraction additional

total amount to be paid = $19.5

step-by-step explanation:

given ,

original price = $25.99

discount = 25%

discount amount = 25% of original price

discount amount = 25/100   * 25.99

discount amount = $6.49

hence , the total amount to be paid = original price - discount amount

                                                            = $25.99 - $6.49

                                                            =$19.5

total amount to be paid = $19.5
