Answer :
First multiply 1 1/4 by 2 because he walks there and back each day.
1.25 * 2 = 2 1/2 mi each day
Then multiply 2 1/2 by 5 because he walks to school and back 5 times.
2.5 * 5 = 12 1/2
So he walks 12 1/2 miles each school week
[tex] 1\frac{1}{4} [/tex] × 2
[tex] \frac{5}{4} [/tex] ×[tex] \frac{2}{1} [/tex] =[tex] \frac{10}{4} [/tex] = [tex] 2\frac{1}{2} [/tex]
[tex] 2\frac{1}{2} [/tex] × 5
[tex] \frac{5}{2} [/tex] × [tex] \frac{5}{1} [/tex] = [tex] \frac{25}{2} [/tex] = [tex] 12\frac{1}{2} mi [/tex]
1.25 * 2 = 2 1/2 mi each day
Then multiply 2 1/2 by 5 because he walks to school and back 5 times.
2.5 * 5 = 12 1/2
So he walks 12 1/2 miles each school week
[tex] 1\frac{1}{4} [/tex] × 2
[tex] \frac{5}{4} [/tex] ×[tex] \frac{2}{1} [/tex] =[tex] \frac{10}{4} [/tex] = [tex] 2\frac{1}{2} [/tex]
[tex] 2\frac{1}{2} [/tex] × 5
[tex] \frac{5}{2} [/tex] × [tex] \frac{5}{1} [/tex] = [tex] \frac{25}{2} [/tex] = [tex] 12\frac{1}{2} mi [/tex]
