Answer:

≈ 2 miles (Option B)

Explanation:


(15)/(16) of a mile =
((15)/(16)) .(1 mile) =
(15)/(16) mile


(7)/(8) of a mile =
((7)/(8)).(1 mile) =
(7)/(8) mile

Total distance Sheri walked =
(15)/(16)mile +
(7)/(8)mile

These two fractions are added to each other. Since the denominators of the two fractions have to be the same:


(7)/(8) can be rewritten as
(14)/(16) by multiplying it by 2:


(15)/(16) + (14)/(16)

=
(15 + 14)/(16)

=
(29)/(16) miles

Enter into the calculator:

= 1.81 miles

≈ 2 miles
