Question

A students home is 3.25 miles from school. A soda shop is located 900 feet farther down the road from school. What is the total distance from the students home to soda shop

___ miles and _____ feet

Answer 1

1 mile = 5,280 feet.

Convert the 0.25 mile to feet:

0.25 miles = 0.25 x 5,280 = 1,320 feet.

Add the soda shop distance to this:

1,320 + 900 = 2,220 feet.

Total distance is 3 miles and 2,220 feet
