Question

Kim walked to the grocery store and back home.The grocery store is 2 5/8 miles from her house. The next day kim walked twice as far to the post office and then back home.How far did she walk in all?

Answer 1

Alright so first you's want to list all the info you have and what the question wants. So you have:

Day one: 2 5/8 times 2 because she would have to walk that distance once to get to the store, and once more to get home
Day 2: Unknown but we know it is 2 times day 1 = 2(day one)

Can you do it from here?

Answer 2

is that right?
how its set up or no

Answer 3

Right. That is for day 1.

Answer 4

day one =4 10/16 ?

Answer 5

No it is 5 1/4

Here's how you calculate that: you want to first change it into irrational fraction before multiplying it by 2.

Answer 6

5 1/4
for the 1st day?
is that what your saying

Answer 7

Yes for day one, since you only showed me your answer for day 1.

Answer 8

ok so thats 1st day
second day she walks 2x as far

Answer 9

so answer : 10 1/2

Answer 10

Yes that is for day 2. But note that the question asks for the total distance she walked in all. So day 1 + day .

Answer 11

I meant Day 1 + Day 2

Answer 12

was my answer correct?

Answer 13

Not for the whole question no. The final answer is 5 1/4 + 10 1/2 = 15 3/4
