Question

Durning the martinez family trip, they drove from home to a ski lodge, a distance of 64 4/5 miles, and then drove an additional 18 4/5 miles to visit friends. If the family drove the same route back home, what was the distance traveled durning their trip?

Answer 1

Answer:
`167\frac15\text{ miles}`.

Explanation:

Since

`64\frac45\text{miles}=(64*5+4)/(5)\text{ miles}\\\\=(324)/(5)\text{ miles}`

`18\frac45\text{ miles}=(18*5+4)/(5)\text{ miles}\\\\=(94)/(5)\text{ miles}`

Total distance traveled during the trip =
`(324)/(5)+(94)/(5)+(324)/(5)+(94)/(5)`

`= (836)/(5)\\\\=167\frac15\text{ miles}`

Hence, the distance traveled during their trip was
`167\frac15\text{ miles}`.
