Answer: The girls walked [tex]1\dfrac38[/tex] miles.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given: Distance from home to school = [tex]\dfrac{6}{10}[/tex] mile
Distance from school to store = [tex]\dfrac38[/tex] mile
Distance from store to home = [tex]\dfrac25[/tex] miles
Total distance = [tex]\dfrac6{10}+\dfrac38+\dfrac25[/tex]
= [tex]\dfrac{6\times4+3\times5+2\times8}{40}[/tex] [L.C.M.(10,8,5)=40]
= [tex]\dfrac{24+15+16}{40}[/tex]
= [tex]\dfrac{55}{40}[/tex]
= [tex]\dfrac{11}{8}=1\dfrac38[/tex] miles
Hence, The girls walked [tex]1\dfrac38[/tex] miles.
