Final answer:

In this case, the total distance walked during after-school practice is 8 3/4 miles.

The correct option is D) Not Here

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the total distance walked during after-school practice, we need to add up the distances from the table.

Let's calculate the total distance step by step:

  • 1. Distance for Monday: 1 1/8 miles
  • 2. Distance for Tuesday: 2 3/4 miles
  • 3. Distance for Wednesday: 1 1/2 miles
  • 4. Distance for Thursday: 2 5/8 miles
  • 5. Distance for Friday: 3/4 miles

To find the total distance, we add these distances together:

1 1/8 + 2 3/4 + 1 1/2 + 2 5/8 + 3/4

To add fractions, we need to have a common denominator. Let's convert all fractions to eighths:

9/8 + 22/8 + 12/8 + 21/8 + 6/8

Now we can add the numerators together and keep the denominator:

(9 + 22 + 12 + 21 + 6)/8

The sum of the numerators is 70:

70/8

Simplifying this fraction, we get:

8 6/8

But 6/8 can be simplified to 3/4:

8 3/4

Therefore, the total distance walked during after-school practice is 8 3/4 miles.

So, the correct option is D) Not Here

Your question is incomplete, but most probably the full question was:
