Answer:

41.2

miles

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve the question, first find the number of miles Rachel power walked.

She walked

2

3

5

or

2.6

miles a day for seven days. Multiply seven days by

2.6

to find the total number of miles Rachel power walked that week.

2.6

7

=

18.2

Next, find the number of miles Rachel jogged.

She jogged

5.75

miles a day for four days. Multiply

4

by

5.75

to find the number of miles Rachel jogged that week.

5.75

4

=

23

Rachel power walked 18.2 miles and jogged 23 miles. Add the two values up to find the total number of miles that she power walked and jogged.

18.2

+

23

=

41.2
