Given :
Emilie rides her bike x miles before she gets a flat tire.
She walks 1/3 mile to a bus stop and then takes a bus for 2 1/2 miles.
To Find :
Which expression shows how many miles Emilie travels in all.
Solution :
We know, total distance covered is given by sum of all the distance she travelled.
Distance covered, D = x + 1/3 + 2 1/2
D = x + 1/3 + 5/2
D = (6x + 2 + 15)/6
D = (6x + 17)/6
Therefore, total distance travelled by Emilie is (6x + 17)/6 .
