Question

Elena walked 12 miles . Then she walked 1/4 that distance . How far did she walk all together ?

Answer 1

Answer: 15 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : Distance walked by Elena before = 12 miles

After that she walked = $\dfrac{1}{4}\times\text{Distance walked by Elena before }$

$\dfrac{1}{4}\times12\text{ miles}\\\\=3\text{ miles}$

Total distance she waled = (Distance walked by Elena before) +  (After that she walked)

i.e. Total distance she waled = 12 miles+ 3 miles

i.e.T otal distance she waled = 15 miles

Hence, she walked 15 miles all together.

Answer 2

Elena walked 15 miles because 1/4 of 12 is 3 and 12+3= 15
