Given:
Matthew walks 5/8 mile to the bus stop each morning.
To find:
How far will he walk in 5 days.
Solution:
According to the given information,
Distance covered by Matthew in 1 day (morning) [tex]=\dfrac{5}{8}[/tex] mile
Using this, we get
Distance covered by Matthew in 5 days (morning) [tex]=5\times \dfrac{5}{8}[/tex] mile
[tex]=\dfrac{25}{8}[/tex] mile
Therefore, we will walk [tex]\dfrac{25}{8}[/tex] miles in 5 days.
