During the Samson family trip, they drove from home to ski lodge, a distance of 55 4/5 miles, and then an additional 12 4/5 miles to visit friends. If the family drove the same route back home, what was the distance traveled during their trip?
First, you have to add how many miles they traveled to get the the ski lodge. Which is 55 4/5 + 12 4/5 = 68 3/5. Then, since they took the same route home, you have to double 68 3/5 to find the total distance they traveled. Which is 137 1/5. I hope this helps! :)
