Answer: total distance traveled = 6.5 m

Step-by-step explanation:

Important to note the difference between displacement and distance. Distance is the total length of the path taken: 4 + 2.5 = 6.5 m

Displacement is the distance from the point of origin to the ending point:

4 - 2.5 = 1.5 m

The question asked for the DISTANCE, so the answer is 6.5 m
