Question

Karleigh walks 5/8 mile to school every day. How far does she walk to school in 5 days?

Answer 1

5/8 x 5 = 25/8. When simplified it is 3 1/8

Answer: 3 1/8

Answer 2

Unit rate defined as the rates are expressed as a quantity 1 such as 2 miles per hour or 5 meter per second.

As per the statement:

Karleigh walks 5/8 mile to school every day.

by definition of unit rate:

`\text{Unit rate per day}=(5)/(8) miles`

We have to find how far does she walk to school in 5 days.

`\text{Number of miles} =\text{Unit rate per day} * 5`

Substitute the given values.

`\text{Number of miles} =(5)/(8) * 5=(25)/(8) = 3(1)/(8)`

Therefore,
`3(1)/(8)` miles far does she walk to school in 5 days
