Isla walked 3/4 miles each way to and from the school Wednesday. How many miles did Isla walk that day?
Answer:
\(\frac{3}{2} = 1.5\) miles did Isla walk that day.
Step-by-step explanation:
As per the statement:
Isla walked 3/4 miles each way to and from the school Wednesday.
She walked each day = 3/4 miles.
We have to find how many miles did Isla walk that day.
Total miles she walked that day = Distance she walked to the school + Distance she walked from the school.
⇒\(\text{Total miles she walked that day} = \frac{3}{4}+\frac{3}{4}\)
Simplify:
\(\text{Total miles she walked that day} = \frac{6}{4} = \frac{3}{2}\)
Therefore, \(\frac{3}{2} = 1.5\) miles did Isla walk that day.
