Final answer:

Kayden walked a total distance of 2 2/5 kilometers after walking 4/5 kilometer to a friend's house and then 1 3/5 kilometers more to a fishing pond.

Step-by-step explanation:

The student is asking about the total distance that Kayden walked to a friend's house and then to a fishing pond. Kayden initially walks 4/5 kilometer and then walks an additional 1 3/5 kilometers with his friend. To find the total distance walked, we need to sum these two distances.

  1. Convert the mixed number 1 3/5 to an improper fraction: 1 3/5 = 8/5.
  2. Add the two fractions: 4/5 + 8/5 = 12/5 kilometers.
  3. Alternatively, we can convert 12/5 back into a mixed number which is 2 2/5 kilometers.

Therefore, Kayden walked a total of 2 2/5 kilometers altogether.
