Answer: To find the total distance Reena covers in 6 days of a week, we need to consider the distance between her school and house for a single round trip and then multiply it by 6.

Given that the distance between the school and Reena's house is 1 km 480 m, we can add the distance for a one-way trip to get the total round trip distance.

Total round trip distance = 1 km 480 m + 1 km 480 m = 2 km 960 m

Now, to find the distance covered by Reena in 6 days, we multiply the round trip distance by 6:

Total distance covered in 6 days = 2 km 960 m * 6

Converting the distance to meters for easier calculation:

2 km 960 m = 2960 m

Total distance covered in 6 days = 2960 m * 6

Calculating the total distance covered:

Total distance covered in 6 days = 17760 m

Therefore, Reena covers a total distance of 17,760 meters (or 17.76 kilometers) in 6 days of a week.
