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
