Answer 1

• 11 kilometers

Explanation:

To calculate the total distance traveled, you can break down the journey into its components:

1. You walked 0.5 km to your friend's house in the morning.
2. You walked back the same 0.5 km distance to your home.
3. You traveled by car to the mall, which is 10 km away.

Now, add these distances together:

• 0.5 km (to your friend's house) + 0.5 km (back home) + 10 km (to the mall)
• = 11 km

So, the total distance traveled is 11 kilometers.
