Question

Shaylyn lives 5 1/4 miles from the gym.

She drove to the gym and worked out. On her way home, she drove 2 1/2 miles when she remembered that she left her gym bag at the gym. She drove back to the gym and then home.
What was the total distance, in miles, that Shaylyn drove?


HELP ME PLEASEEEEE​

Answer 1

To find the total distance that Shaylyn drove, we need to add up the distance she drove to the gym, the distance she drove back home, and the distance she drove back to the gym to retrieve her gym bag.

The distance Shaylyn drove to the gym is given as 5 1/4 miles.

The distance she drove back home is also 5 1/4 miles since she retraced her route.

The distance she drove back to the gym to retrieve her gym bag is given as 2 1/2 miles.

So, the total distance that Shaylyn drove is:

5 1/4 + 5 1/4 + 2 1/2 = 13 miles

Therefore, Shaylyn drove a total of 13 miles.
