Verified Answer :

First you need to make the denominators equivalent so you can add them.
\(\frac{2}{5}\) × \(\frac{4}{4}\)=\(\frac{8}{20}\)

\(\frac{1}{4}\) × \(\frac{5}{5}\)=\(\frac{5}{20}\)

Then you can add them together
\(\frac{8}{20}\) + \(\frac{5}{20}\)
=\(\frac{13}{20}\)

They walked [tex] \frac{13}{20} [/tex] of a mile altogether

Total distance cover by both is 13/20 miles

Given that:

Distance cover by Ben = 2/5 miles

Distance cover by Tonya = 1/4 miles

Find:

Total distance cover by both

Computation:

Total distance cover by both = Distance cover by Ben + Distance cover by Tonya

\(Total \ distance\ cover\ by\ both = \frac{2}{5} + \frac{1}{4} \\\\Total \ distance\ cover\ by\ both = \frac{8 + 5}{20} \\\\Total \ distance\ cover\ by\ both = \frac{13}{20} \\\)
