Question

A student ran a distance of 1.5 miles for the first 5 days and 2 1/4 miles the next five days. What was the total distance the student ran for all ten days?

18 3/4 miles
3 3/4 miles
7.5 miles
11 1/2 miles​

Answer 1

18 3/4 miles

Explanation:

cumulative first 5days = 5(1.5) = 7.5
cumulative last 5days = 5(2 1/4) = 11 1/4

add them
= 7.5 + 11 1/4
= 18 3/4 miles
