About how much further did Molly walk than her brother and sister combined? A. about 1.2 miles B. about 1.4 miles C. about 2.2 miles D. about 2.4 miles

Answer 1

B. About 1.4

Explanation:

3.45 - 1.23 = 2.22

2.22 - 0.85 = 1.37

1.37 is closer to 1.4 then 1.2

Answer 2

We know that 4 and below rounds down and 5 and above round up

That means she walked 3.5 miles her sister walked 1.2 miles

and her brother walked 0.9 miles

1.2+0.9=2.1

3.5-2.1=1.4

B about 1.4 miles
