Given Values
Analyzing the problem, you have to add the fractions.
1/7 + 5/16 + 3/17
Get the LCD of the fractions to make it similar. Use Prime Factorization.
7 = 7
16 = 2 • 2 • 2 • 2
No common factors so we will multiply all prime factors.
LCD = 2 • 2 • 2 • 2 • 7 • 7
LCD = 784
112 / 784 + 245 / 784 + 336 / 784
112 + 245 + 336 / 784
= 693 / 784 or 99 / 112 meters
