Answer:
B : 0.7
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
Doug lives 7. Block away from his school.
Each block is about 265 feet long.
Question asked:
What is total round-trip distance,in miles that Doug walks to and from school each day ?
Solution:
Each block is about = 265 feet
7 Block = [tex]265\times7 = 1855 \ feet[/tex]
As he lives 7 block away from his school that means his round trip distance is,
7 block ( travel during going to school ) + 7 block ( when return from school )
Therefore, his total round trip is 14 block, means 1855 feet + 1855 feet = 3710 feet.
Now, we have to convert it into miles as here asked: (unitary method)
5280 feet = 1 mile
1 feet = [tex]\frac{1}{5280}[/tex]
3710 feet = [tex]\frac{1}{5280}\times3710[/tex]
= [tex]\frac{3710}{5280} = 0.7 \ miles[/tex]
Thus, total round-trip distance,in miles that Doug walks to and from school each day is 0.7 miles.
