Final answer:

Keri walks approximately 4.29 kilometers in one week.

Step-by-step explanation:

Keri walks her dog every morning. On weekdays, the length of the walk is 0.55 km. On weekends, the walk is 1.4 times as long as a walk on a weekday. To find out how many kilometers Keri walks in one week, we need to calculate the total distance she walks on weekdays and weekends.

Distance walked on weekdays = 0.55 km per day

Distance walked on weekends = 1.4 * 0.55 km per day = 0.77 km per day

Total distance walked in one week = (distance on weekdays * number of weekdays) + (distance on weekends * number of weekends)

Since there are 5 weekdays and 2 weekend days in a week, we can calculate the total distance:

Total distance walked in one week = (0.55 km * 5) + (0.77 km * 2) = 2.75 km + 1.54 km = 4.29 km

Keri walks approximately 4.29 kilometers in one week.

The answer is 5.55km. Since there are 5 weekday 5x.55= 2.75 and the weekend is 2 days so 2x1.4=2.8 and you add that together so 2.75+2.80=5.55
