Eli lives 3 3/4 miles from the library. He decided to bike from his home to the library to return some books. Eli biked 1 1/10 miles when he remembered that had left a book at home, so he biked back home to get it. After getting the book from home, he biked to the library. What was the total distance, in miles, Eli had biked when he finally reached the library?

Eli traveled a total of 8.6 miles. He went to the library and back. 3.75 + 3.75. and he also added and extra 1 1/10 mile. so, 3.75 x 2 = 7.5, 7.5 + 1 1/10 = 8.6. Hope that helped!
