B.

C.

mile

D.
7/8
mile

Answer 1

C. 7/16 is the answer

Explanation:

0.7mi x 5/8 = 0.4375= 7/16

^0.7 is from the 7/10 mile to school

Answer 2

7/16 mile

Explanation:

To know the estimated distance RUSS has walked to school after covering 5/8 of the total distance, we just Multiply the both fractions.

And note, 'of' here implies Multiplication.

Therefore, Russ total covered distance is :

7/10 of 5/8

= 7/10 * 5/8

= 7/2 * 1/ 8

= 7 / 2*8

= 7/ 16 mile
