Answer 1

To determine how many miles Kelly walks after three days, we can multiply the distance she walks each day by the number of days:

\[
\text{Distance walked in three days} = \left( \frac{4}{5} \text{ miles/day} \right) \times 3 \text{ days}
\]

Calculating that:

\[
\frac{4}{5} \times 3 = \frac{4 \times 3}{5} = \frac{12}{5} \text{ miles}
\]

To express \(\frac{12}{5}\) as a mixed number:

\(\frac{12}{5} = 2 \frac{2}{5}\) miles.

So the answer is \(\frac{12}{5}\) miles, which corresponds to "12 fifths" in the provided options.

Thus, the correct response is:

**12 fifths**.
