Answer 1

B : 0.7

Explanation:

Given:

Doug lives 7. Block away from his school.

Each block is about 265 feet long.

Question asked:

What is total round-trip distance,in miles that Doug walks to and from school each day ?

Solution:

Each block is about = 265 feet

7 Block =
`265*7 = 1855 \ feet`

As he lives 7 block away from his school that means his round trip distance is,

7 block ( travel during going to school ) + 7 block ( when return from school )

Therefore, his total round trip is 14 block, means 1855 feet + 1855 feet = 3710 feet.

Now, we have to convert it into miles as here asked: (unitary method)

5280 feet = 1 mile

1 feet =
`(1)/(5280)`

3710 feet =
`(1)/(5280)*3710`

=
`(3710)/(5280) = 0.7 \ miles`

Thus, total round-trip distance,in miles that Doug walks to and from school each day is 0.7 miles.
