What are fractions?

A fraction is referred to as the portion of a whole in mathematics. For instance, if a pizza is cut into four equal pieces, each one is represented by a quarter. Fractions make calculations quicker and easier by making it easier to distribute and judge numbers.

Solution:

First day patrick walked = 3/5 miles

Second day patrick walked = 5/7 miles

Third day he walked = half of first day

                                 = 1/2 ×3/5

                                 = 3/10 miles

fourth day he walked = first two days distances

                                 = 3/5 ₊ 5/7

                                 = 46/35 miles

Total distance he walked = 3/5 ₊ 5/7 ₊ 3/10 ₊ 46/35

                                       = 3 miles

Hence total distance he walked is 3 miles.
