Answer:

I disagree

Explanation:

Given that :

Distance from school to park = 3/8 miles

Distance from Park to home = 1/ 2 miles

Brother claims Total mile ran = 2/5 miles

The total miles ran is the sum of distance covered fromschoo to park and park to home

3/8 miles + 1/2 miles

L. C. M of 8 and 2 = 8

(3 + 4) / 8 miles

7/ 8 miles

Hence, I disagree with Claire's brother
