Answer:

The answer to your question is: 8 and one third of a mile.

Explanation:

Data

Laney walks 1 2/3

Process

Convert 1 2/3 into a improper fraction

1 2/3 = (3 + 2) / 3 = 5/3

She walks only from home to school, then she walks 5 one way

5 (5/3) = 25/3

Convert to a mix fraction

8 1/3 of a mile
