Question

Ray’s school is 1.7 miles from his house. He walks to and from school every day. How many miles does he walk each day?

Answer 1

Ray's walk 3.4 miles everyday.

Explanation:

Given:

Distance of Ray's school from his house = 1.7 miles

We have to find, total distance he walk each day.

Total distance = (Distance from home to school) + (Distance from school to home)

Distance from home to school=Distance from school to home =1.7 miles

Both are equal distances.

So,

Summation of their distances =
`(1.7+1.7)=3.4` miles

So Ray walk 3.4 miles each day.
