Question

jane lives 1 3/8 miles from the airport. She drove from her house to the airport and back 2 times. How far did Jane drive? Move a number or numbers into the blank to show the answer

Answer 1

`5(1)/(2)\ mi`

Explanation:

we know that

`1(3)/(8)\ mi=(1*8+3)/(8)=(11)/(8)\ mi`

She drove from her house to the airport and back 2 times

so

Multiply the distance from her house to the airport by 4

`(4)*(11)/(8)=(11)/(2)=5(1)/(2)\ mi`
