Answer 1

Total distance Abdul walked = 0.525 miles

Explanation:

The post office is 0.15 mile from Abdul’s house.

His school is 3/8 mile from the post office.

Distance to school from post office = 3/8 mile = 0.375 mile

Total distance from Abdul's house to school = 0.15 + 0.375 = 0.525 miles

Total distance Abdul walked = 0.525 miles
