Answer:

The total distance, in miles, that Kylie walked at the park this week is  [tex]3\frac{7}{67} \ miles.[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Kylie walked at the park two days a week. On Monday, she walked 1 3/5 miles. On Tuesday, she walked 1 3/4 miles.

Now, to find the total distance, in miles, that Kylie walked at the park this week.

Kylie walked on Monday = [tex]1\frac{3}{5}=\frac{8}{5}\ miles.[/tex]

Kylie walked on Tuesday = [tex]1\frac{3}{4} =\frac{7}{4}\ miles.[/tex]

Now, to get the total distance in miles by adding both the miles she walked on Monday and Tuesday:

[tex]\frac{8}{5} +\frac{7}{4}[/tex]

[tex]=\frac{32+35}{20}[/tex]

[tex]=\frac{67}{20}[/tex]

[tex]=3\frac{7}{67} \ miles.[/tex]

Therefore, the total distance, in miles, that Kylie walked at the park this week is  [tex]3\frac{7}{67} \ miles.[/tex]
