To practice for a marathon race, Raheel ran 1/4 kilometers on Monday, 7/8 kilometers on Tuesday and 15/6 kilometers on Wednesday. Find the total distance he covered in three days?

29/8 kilometers

85/24 kilometers

89/24 kilometers

None of these

To find the total distance, add the distances covered each day:

Step 1: Find a common denominator for 4, 8, and 6

The least common multiple of 4, 8, and 6 is 24.

Step 2: Convert each fraction to have a denominator of 24

Monday: 1/4 = 6/24

Tuesday: 7/8 = 21/24

Wednesday: 15/6 = 60/24

Step 3: Add the distances

Total distance = 6/24 + 21/24 + 60/24

= 87/24

Step 4: Simplify if possible

87/24 can be simplified to 29/8
