Every day, rose cycles to school which is 7/8 km away from his home. After school, he cycles home along the same route. What is the total distance rose cycles from monday to friday?

1 answer

If Rose cycles to school and then back home along the same route, the total distance cycled in one day would be twice the distance to school.

One-way distance to school = 7/8 km
Round trip (to school and back home) = 7/8 km + 7/8 km = 7/8 km * 2 = 14/8 km = 7/4 km

Now, to find out the total distance cycled from Monday to Friday, we would multiply the daily round trip distance by 5, since there are 5 school days in a standard week.

Total distance cycled from Monday to Friday = 5 * (7/4 km)

= 35/4 km

= 8 3/4 km

= 8.75 km

So, Rose cycles a total of 8.75 kilometers from Monday to Friday.
