Beth walked 1/3 of a mile from her house to her friends house 1/4 of a mile to the post office then another half of a mile from the post office back home how far did Beth walk

Respuesta :

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.
