Asked by Amy

Marco ran from his house 2.67 miles to a county park. He then ran the 1.5 mile cross country loop at the park and back home. How many miles did Marco run altogether?

I added and got 4.17 miles

Is that correct
Answered by Ms. Sue
No. You left him at the park -- but he hasn't gotten home yet.

Is my answer 1.5 miles
Answered by Ms. Sue
No.

First he ran to the park = 2.67 miles

Then he ran around the park = 1.5 miles

Finally he should run home = 2.67 miles
