Q. 35) Logan walks to and from school four days a week (Monday to Thursday). On Fridays, he walks to school, but his mom picks him up after school. He lives a quarter km away from the school. Use a mixed number and an improper fraction to show how far Logan walks each week.
Question Prompt: Question_prompt: How far does Logan walk each week?
Calculate Round Trip Distance: Logan walks to and from school, which is a quarter km each way, so he walks 21 km round trip.
Calculate Weekly Distance: He does this four days a week, so 4 days times half a km is 2 km.
Calculate Total Distance on Friday: On Friday, he only walks to school, which is a 41 km.
Combine Weekly Distances: Add the 2km from Monday to Thursday to the quarter km from Friday, 2km+41km equals 2 and a quarter km or 241km.
Convert to Improper Fraction: To express 241km as an improper fraction, multiply the whole number 2 by the denominator 4 and add the numerator 1, which gives us 8+1 equals 9.
Final Answer: So, 241 km is the same as 49 km.
