Question

What was the total distance, in miles, Eil has biked when he finally reached the library?

Answer 1

Answer:

Distance covered by Eli is $5\frac{19}{20}$ miles.

Step-by-step explanation:

Eli biked the distance from his home initially = $1\frac{1}{10}$ miles

Then he remembered that he had left a book at home.

He came back home and traveled the distance = $1\frac{1}{10}$ miles

Then he reached the library by traveling the distance = $3\frac{3}{4}$ miles

Total distance covered by him = $1\frac{1}{10}+1\frac{1}{10}+3\frac{3}{4}$

                                                   = $1 + \frac{1}{10}+1+\frac{1}{10}+3+\frac{3}{4}$

                                                   = 5 + $\frac{1}{10}+\frac{1}{10}+\frac{3}{4}$

                                                   = $5+\frac{2}{20}+\frac{2}{20}+\frac{15}{20}$

                                                   = $5+\frac{19}{20}$

                                                   = $5\frac{19}{20}$ miles

Therefore, distance covered by Eli is $5\frac{19}{20}$ miles.
