Answer:
[tex]8\frac{2}{5}[/tex] miles
Step-by-step explanation:
We have been given that Flavia walked her dog [tex]1\frac{2}{5}[/tex] miles. Shazell walked her dog 5 times as far.
The total distance walked by both dogs would be [tex]1\frac{2}{5}[/tex] miles plus 5 times [tex]1\frac{2}{5}[/tex] miles as:
[tex]\text{Total distance walked by both dogs}=1\frac{2}{5}+5\times 1\frac{2}{5}[/tex]
Convert mixed fractions into improper fractions:
[tex]1\frac{2}{5}\Rightarrow \frac{1*5+2}{5}=\frac{5+2}{5}=\frac{7}{5}[/tex]
[tex]\text{Total distance walked by both dogs}=\frac{7}{5}+5\times \frac{7}{5}[/tex]
[tex]\text{Total distance walked by both dogs}=\frac{7}{5}+\frac{35}{5}[/tex]
[tex]\text{Total distance walked by both dogs}=\frac{7+35}{5}[/tex]
[tex]\text{Total distance walked by both dogs}=\frac{42}{5}[/tex]
[tex]\text{Total distance walked by both dogs}=8\frac{2}{5}[/tex]
Therefore, both girls walked [tex]8\frac{2}{5}[/tex] miles their dogs.
