Answer:

total distance = 1 miles

Explanation:

According to the information given below from the picture, the distance from the guy's house to the school is given as 5/10 miles.

5/10 miles can still be reduced to the lowest fraction as 1/2 miles.

Since he works to and fro from his house to school and school to house, The distance he covered will be the sum of the distance from house to school and school to house .

Distance from house to school = 1/2 miles

Distance from school to house = 1/2 miles

The total distance he covered = 1/2 miles + 1/2 miles

total distance = 1 miles
