Answer:

distance need to walk is 3/20

Step-by-step explanation:

To stay healthy, Emily decided to walk for 4/5 miles everyday. She walked 2/5 mile to work and walked 1/4 mile at lunchtime.

Target distance is 4/5 miles

walked 2/5 miles  and walked 1/4 miles

Total mile walked is \frac{2}{5} +\frac{1}{4}

LCD is 20

make the denominators same and add the fractions

\frac{2}{5} +\frac{1}{4}\\\frac{8}{20} +\frac{5}{20}\\\\\frac{13}{20}

Target distance is 4/5 miles

Now subtract the miles walked from targeted distance

\frac{4}{5} -\frac{13}{20} \\\frac{16}{20} -\frac{13}{20}\\\frac{3}{20}

so distance need to walk is 3/20
