Question

Kelsey walked 1.7 miles to the park. Then she walked another 1.3 miles to a cafe. How far did Kelsey walk in all?

Answer 1

Answer:

3 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Kelsey first walked to the park which took 1.7 miles. Then she walked an additional 1.3 miles to get to the cafe.

If we are only counting the amount of miles that she walked without going back home then we can do this simply by doing

1.7+1.3

0.7+0.3 = 1.0 so we carry the one and in total we get 1.0+1.0+1.0 to get 3.0 miles or in other words 3 miles!

Answer 2

Answer:

3 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

  1.7      carry a one because 3+7 is 10

+ 1.3      

--------

 3.0
