Reggie and jay go for a walk morning. reggie walks 2 1/4 miles. Jay walks 1 3/8 miles less than Reggie. What is the total distance they walk every morning

Reggie walks 2 1/4 miles every morning. For Jay, you have to change the mixed numbers into improper fractions. Now both frqctioks should look like this: 9/4 and 11/8 Now, change the denominators of both fractions into the same common denominator. The common denominator for this is 8. Now it should look like this: 18/8 and 11/8 Now all you have to do is multiply across. 18/8-11/8=7/8 is the answer and you can't simplify. So now the answer is: Reggie walks 18/8 miles and Jay walks 7/8 miles every morning.
