Question

Angie drove 25 miles. After she ran out of gas, she walked 13/4 miles. How

far did Angie travel in all?

Answer 1

To calculate the total distance Angie traveled, we add the 25 miles she drove to the 3.25 miles she walked (13/4 miles converted to decimal), resulting in a total of 28.25 miles.

Step-by-step explanation:

The student is asking about the total distance Angie traveled after she drove and then walked. To find this, we need to add the distance Angie drove to the distance she walked. She drove 25 miles and then walked 13/4 miles, which is the same as 3.25 miles when converted to decimal form.

To get the total distance, simply add the two distances together:

1. Convert the fraction 13/4 miles to a decimal, which is 13 divided by 4, resulting in 3.25 miles.
2. Add the distance drove, 25 miles, to the distance walked, 3.25 miles.
3. 25 miles + 3.25 miles = 28.25 miles.

Therefore, the total distance Angie traveled after both driving and walking is 28.25 miles.
