Final answer:
option c.
By setting up a proportion and multiplying 4/5 mile by 3, we find that the total distance from Jenna's home to the park is 2.4 miles.
Step-by-step explanation:
To calculate the total distance from Jenna's home to the park, we need to find out what 1 whole is if 1/3 of it is 4/5 mile. We start by setting up a proportion:
1/3 of total distance = 4/5 mile
To find the total distance, we multiply both sides of the equation by 3 (the reciprocal of 1/3) to isolate the total distance on one side:
total distance = (4/5 mile) x 3
Now, we perform the multiplication:
total distance = 12/5 miles
12/5 miles is equivalent to 2.4 miles when converting the improper fraction to a mixed number. Therefore, the total distance from Jenna's home to the park is 2.4 miles, which corresponds to option c.
