Question

raheem has to travel 1whole 1by 4 km to reach school. What distance does he travel to go to school and come back home?

Answer 1

Distance traveled by Raheem to reach his school = $1\frac{1}{4}$ km

= $\frac{(4 \times1)+1}{4}$ km

= $\frac{5}{4}$ km

Distance traveled to come back home from his school =  $1\frac{1}{4}$ km

= $\frac{(4 \times1)+1}{4}$ km

= $\frac{5}{4}$ km

Total distance traveled from home to school and from school to home =

= $\frac{5}{4} + \frac{5}{4}$

$= 2\times \frac{5}{4}$

= $\frac{5}{2}$ km

Therefore, distance traveled to go to school and come back home =  $\frac{5}{2}$ km.

Answer 2

Answer:

Distance traveled by Raheem to reach his school = 1\frac{1}{4}1
