please answer in steps.

Answer 1

Answer:

Akash walked $1\frac{4}{15}$ kilometers in all.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Distance covered while walking to school = 2/3 km

Distance covered while walking back = 3/5 km

We will add the distance.

Total distance walked = $\frac{2}{3}+\frac{3}{5}$

Total distance walked = $\frac{10+9}{15}$

Total distance walked = $\frac{19}{15}=1\frac{4}{15}\ km$

Hence,

Akash walked $1\frac{4}{15}$ kilometers in all.
