Question

Roberto wants to clean up his neighborhood by picking up trash. The total distance around his block is 134 of a mile. He decides to do this over a two-day period. If he walks 58 of a mile on the first day, how far does he need to walk the second day to pick up trash?

Answer 1

0.076 of a mile. This is because if you do 0.134 minus 0.058 you get 0.076.

Answer 2

1.125 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Roberto has a total distance of 1 3/4 miles to cover. On the first day, he walks 5/8 of a mile. To find out how much he needs to walk on the second day, we subtract the distance he walked on the first day from the total distance.

Let’s do the math:

1 3/4 miles is the same as 1.75 miles. 5/8 of a mile is the same as 0.625 miles.

So, 1.75 miles (total distance) - 0.625 miles (distance walked on the first day) = 1.125 miles.

Therefore, Roberto needs to walk 1.125 miles on the second day to pick up all the trash around his block.
