Question

It is 1/2 mile from a student's home to a store and back. In a week, she

walked to the store and back home 1 time. In the same week, she rode her
bike to the store and back 3 times. How many miles did she walk and ride
to the store and back in that week? *

Answer 1

2 miles

Explanation:

Given that :

Distance from home to store and back = 1/2 mile

In a week :

Number of times he walked from home to store and back = 1 time

Number of times she rode to store and back = 3 time

Note distance does not change whether she rode or walked:

Hence,

miles walked = 1/2 miles * 1 = 1/2 miles

Miles biked = 1/2 miles * 3 = 3/2 miles

Total Number of miles :

(1/2 + 3/2) = (1 + 3) /2 = 4/2 = 2 miles
