Answer:

it took her 54 mins to finish her walk.

Explanation:

Given;

total distance walked by Katie, d = ⁵/₆

time taken to walk ¹/₆ mile = 10 mins

break time = 1 min

There are five ¹/₆ mile in the total distance which is ⁵/₆ miles.

Time for the first ¹/₆ mile = 10 mins +

break time = 1 min

Time for the second ¹/₆ mile = 10 mins +

break time = 1 min

Time for the third ¹/₆ mile = 10 mins +

break time = 1 min

Time for the fourth ¹/₆ mile = 10 mins +

break time = 1 min

Time for the fifth ¹/₆ mile = 10 mins

Total time = 5 (10 mins) + 4 (1 min)

= 50 mins + 4mins

= 54 mins

Therefore, it took her 54 mins to finish her walk.
