Question

Candace goes out jogging for exercise one day. If she jogs half a mile to the high school track and then jogs 4 laps around the track, which is a quarter of a mile around, how many miles has she jogged?

Answer 1

Answer:

1.5 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

To get the number of miles she has jogged, what we need do is to add the distance she jogged to the high school track and the distance of the tracks

We know from the question that the laps are 0.25 miles each and there are 4. The total number of miles jogged around is thus 4 * 0.25 = 1 mile

If we now add this to the former half mile, we have the following:

1 + 0.5 = 1.5 miles
