Every weekday, Tasha walks 3/8 mile to go to school. After school, she walks 2/8 mile to go to her grandparents' house. Then she takes the smae route home. Does she walk more than one mile each day? Explain how you know.

Sagot :

no she doesnt but it was very close i know this because 2/8+2/8= 4/8 +3/8=7/8


There are two possibilities, and we don't know which situation is true.

#1).  School is in the middle, between home and grandparents. 

Home --------- 3/8 ----------- School --------- 2/8 ------- Grandparents .

If this is true, then in the whole day, Tasha walks

(3/8 + 2/8 + 2/8 + 3/8) = 10/8  =  1.25 miles .

===========================================

#2):  Grandparents house is in the middle, between home and school.
Tasha passes by them on her way to school, and stops there to visit
on her way back home.

Home ------- 1/8 ------- Grandparents ---------- 2/8 ---------- School

If this is true, then in the whole day, Tasha walks

   (3/8 + 2/8 + 1/8) = 6/8  =  3/4 mile .
