Samuel walks in the labor day parade. he walks 3 1/4 miles along the parade route and 2 5/6 miles home. how many miles does samuel walk?

Find a common denominator which is 12

1*3=3   4*3=12  so 3 3/12

then 5*2=10   6*2=12     so 2 10/12

2 10/12+3 3/12= 5 13/12  

13/12= 1 1/12 plus 5= 6 1/12

so your answer would be 6 1/12

Geometric pattern of 2 i’m guessing. not really sure about what you’re asking but i hope this !
