17 is the total inches

17/2 is 8.5 multiplied by 3 is 25.5 miles which convert to 26

Answer:

Option (c) is correct.

In nearest mile the total distance that she traveled is 26 miles.

Explanation:

Given: The path Latisha drove around town running errands all afternoon.

We have to determine to the nearest mile the total distance that she traveled.

We first find the total distance Latisha covered.

Total distance covered is total path she traveled.

That is path from start to finish point.

Distance = 6 + 5 + 2.5 + 3.5

Distance = 17 inches.

Unitary method is a method in which we first find the value of a single unit and then use it to find the value of desired units.

Also, given 2 inches = 3 miles

So. 1 inches =
(3)/(2) miles.

Thus, 17 inches =
(3)/(2)* 17=25.5 miles.

Thus, In nearest mile the total distance that she traveled is 26 miles.
