Question

During the Samson family trip, they drove from home to ski lodge, a distance of 55 4/5 miles, and then an additional 12 4/5 miles to visit friends. If the family drove the same route back home, what was the distance traveled during their trip?

Answer 1

First, you have to add how many miles they traveled to get the the ski lodge. Which is 55 4/5 + 12 4/5 = 68 3/5. Then, since they took the same route home, you have to double 68 3/5 to find the total distance they traveled. Which is 137 1/5. I hope this helps! :)
