Answer 1

Option B is correct

Explanation:

Given

Distance from Alison's house to the mailbox =
`(2)/(5)` miles

Distance from the mailbox to the bus stop
`(1)/(3)` miles

The total distance between Alison's house to the bus stop is

`(2)/(5) + (1)/(3) \\(6+5)/(15) \\(11)/(15)`

Hence, option B is correct
