Question

a. 7 1/8
b. 7 8/12
c. 8 1/8
d. 8 8/12

Answer 1

To find the total distance Mary walked, you simply need to add the two distances together:

Morning walk: 24 miles
Afternoon walk: 5 miles

Total distance = 24 miles + 5 miles = 29 miles

None of the answer options provided (a, b, c, or d) correspond to 29 miles. Please check the options again or verify the problem statement.
