Answer:
Total distance traveled by Beth is 1 and 2/25 of a mile.
Step-by-step explanation:
Here, from the given information:
The distance traveled by Beth from Her house to her friend's = 1/ 3 of a mile
= 0.33 miles
The distance traveled by Beth to post office = 1/ 4 of a mile
= 0.25 mile
The distance traveled by Beth from post office to her home = 1/ 2 of a mile
= 0.5 mile
Now, the total distance traveled by Beth
= Sum of all the distances traveled
= 0.33 miles + 0. 25 miles + 0.5 miles = 1.08 miles
Now, [tex]1 .08 = 1 + 0.08 = 1 + \frac{8}{100} = 1 + \frac{2}{25} = 1\frac{2}{25}[/tex]
Hence, the total distance traveled by Beth is 1 and 2/25 of a mile.
