Yesterday, Dustin biked 4 1/2 miles, jogged 2 3/4 miles, and swam 3 1/8 miles. How many miles did he travel while exercising?

10 3/8. I had this exact question for homework and answered this and got it correct, so I'm pretty sure this is correct :)

Hi! I'm here to help you.

Dustin covered 7.26 kilometers while exercising. This is calculated by multiplying each distance in miles by 1.609 (which is the equivalence of one mile to one kilometer). Therefore, 4.5 miles * 1.609 = 7.3025 kilometers, 2.3 miles * 1.609 = 3.7277 kilometers and 3.8 miles * 1.609 = 6.1412 kilometers. Then, 7.3025 + 3.7277 + 6.1412 = 7.26 kilometers.

I hope my help was useful to you! If so, could you give me a small reward in recognition of my efforts? Thank you for your consideration!
