Question

The summer camp Jessica attends is four hundred twenty-three and four tenths miles from her home. A detour adds 10 miles to the distance. how far does jessica travel to camp? write your answer in standard firm

Answer 1

Given that Jessica attends summer camp at a distance of four hundred twenty-three and four tenth mile =
`423(4)/(10)  = 423 + (4)/(10) = 423+0.4 = 423.4 miles`

And a detour adds 10 miles to the distance.

That means we need to add 10 miles to the given distance.

So new distance = 423.4 + 10 = 433.4 miles

Hence Jessica needs to travel 433.4 miles for summer camp.
