Answer 2

Let

x-------> the length of the walk on each weekday in kilometer

y-------> the length of the walk on each weekend in kilometer

T------> total length of the walk in one week in kilometer

we know that

`x=0.55\ km`

`y=1.4*x=1.4*0.55=0.77\ km`

`T=5x+2y\\ \\ T=5*0.55+2*0.77\\ \\T= 2.75+1.54\\ \\ T=4.29\ km`

therefore

the answer is

`4.29\ km`
