Add the two distances by converting to improper fractions with a common denominator.
• \(1\frac{1}{2} = \frac{3}{2}\) and \(2\frac{3}{5} = \frac{13}{5}\)
• LCM of 2 and 5 is 10.
• \(\frac{3}{2} = \frac{15}{10}\) and \(\frac{13}{5} = \frac{26}{10}\)
• \(\frac{15}{10} + \frac{26}{10} = \frac{41}{10}\)
• Convert to mixed number: \(\frac{41}{10} = 4\frac{1}{10}\)
Lewis jogged \(4\frac{1}{10}\) km over the two days.
Check: \(4\frac{1}{10} - 2\frac{3}{5} = 4\frac{1}{10} - 2\frac{6}{10} = 3\frac{11}{10} - 2\frac{6}{10} = 1\frac{5}{10} = 1\frac{1}{2}\). ✓
