Answer 1

Total distance travel = 8.60 miles

Explanation:

Given:

Distance of 1st trail =
`5(1)/(4)` miles = 5.25 miles

Distance of 2nd trail = 3.35 miles

Find:

Total distance travel

Computation:

Total distance travel = Distance of 1st trail + Distance of 2nd trail

Total distance travel = 5.25 + 3.35

Total distance travel = 8.60 miles
