Mathew walks 5/8 mile to the bustop each morning How far will he walk in 5 days?

I think the answer is 25/8 or you could simplify it

We could determine how far he walks by multiplying how far he walks each day by 5. We could write it like this,

walk 5 days = walk each day * 5

Now input the numbers

walk 5 days = walk each day * 5

walk 5 days = 5/8 * 5

walk 5 days = 25/8

walk 5 days = 3 1/8 (mixed number)

walk 5 days = 3.125 (decimal)

Mathew walks 3 1/8 miles or 3.125 miles in 5 days
