(b) 2 3/8 miles
(c) 3 3/8 miles
(d) 4 3/8 miles

Answer 1

Ellie's family hiked a total of 1 3/8 miles on trails that are a) 1 3/8 miles long.

Step-by-step explanation:

Ellie's family hiked on trails that are 1 3/8 miles long.

To find out how far they hiked, we can multiply the number of trails by the length of each trail.

Since they hiked on trails that are 1 3/8 miles long, we can represent this as a fraction: 1 3/8.

To multiply a fraction by a whole number, we simply multiply the numerator (top number) and keep the denominator (bottom number) the same.

So we have:

1 3/8 * 1 = 1 3/8

Therefore, Ellie's family hiked a total of 1 3/8 miles.
