Julian walks 6 tenths of a mile, his friend to his friend's house, and then another 35 hundredths of a mile to the store. He walked one 4th of a mile back home. Julians sister said he walked one in one 5th, Myles, do you agree?

Final answer:

Julian walked a total of 1.2 miles, which confirms that his sister's statement of him walking one and one-fifth miles is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

The student is asking how to calculate the total distance Julian walked by adding different lengths expressed in fractions and decimals of a mile, and whether Julian’s sister was correct in stating he walked one and one-fifth miles. First, we convert the fractions and decimals to a common unit and then add them together:

  1. Julian walks 0.6 miles to his friend's house.
  2. Then, he walks another 0.35 miles to the store.
  3. Lastly, he walks 0.25 miles (which is one fourth of a mile) back home.

We add these distances together to find the total distance Julian walked:

0.6 + 0.35 + 0.25 = 1.2 miles

Therefore, Julian's sister's claim that he walked one and one-fifth miles (1.2 miles) is correct.
