Answer 1

The Real asnwer is 1 1/2.

Answer 2

She rode
`1(1)/(2)` miles from her friends house to school.

Explanation:

Geneva rode her bike a total =
`2(1)/(2)` miles

She rode from her house to the park =
`(4)/(5)` miles

She rode from the park to her friend's house =
`(1)/(5)` miles

total distance from her house to her friend's house =
`(4)/(5)+(1)/(5)` = 1 mile

Finally she rode the rest of the way to her school.

distance between her friend's house to school =
`2(1)/(2)-1` =
`(3)/(2)` miles

`1(1)/(2)` miles she rode from her friends house to school
