Question

A volunteer walks 1 mile to a dog

shelter. She walks 4 dogs for 1/2mile
each. Then she walks 1 mile
home. She does this each day for
3 days, How many miles does she
walk in all?

Answer 1

The volunteer walks 1 mile to the dog shelter and another 1 mile back home, so she walks 1 + 1 = 2 miles each day.

She walks 4 dogs for 1/2 mile each, so she walks 4 x 1/2 = 2 miles with the dogs each day.

Therefore, she walks a total of 2 + 2 = 4 miles each day.

Over the course of 3 days, she walks a total of 4 x 3 = 12 miles.

So, the volunteer walks 12 miles in all.
