You walk 1/5 miles to a shoe store. Then you walk another 1/2 miles to a grocery store. How many miles have you walked in all?

You would have walked a total of 7/10 miles or. 7 miles.

Step-by-step explanation:

First you have to make the fractions have a common denominator. Let's do 10.

1/5 = 2/10 you multiply the top and bottom by 2 to get a bottom of 10

1/2=5/10 you multiply the top and bottom by 5 to get a bottom of 10

Now we can add these,

2/10 + 5/10 = 7/10 You do not add the denominators, only the numerators when the denominators are equal.

You would have walked a total of 7/10 miles or. 7 miles.
