Kelly walks 4/5 of a mile each day. How many miles does Kelly walk after three days?

1 answer

To find out how many miles Kelly walks after three days, you can multiply the distance she walks each day by the number of days.

Kelly walks \( \frac{4}{5} \) of a mile each day, and she walks for 3 days.

So, the total distance she walks in three days is:

\[ \text{Total distance} = \left( \frac{4}{5} \text{ miles/day} \right) \times 3 \text{ days} = \frac{4 \times 3}{5} = \frac{12}{5} \text{ miles} \]

Now, we can simplify \( \frac{12}{5} \):

\[ \frac{12}{5} = 2 \frac{2}{5} \text{ miles} \]

Thus, Kelly walks \( \frac{12}{5} \) miles, or \( 2 \frac{2}{5} \) miles, after three days.
