luke rode his bicycle 2/5 of a mile from his house to the library. He then rode 1/2 of a mile from the library to the mall. Sketch a visual model to find the total distance that luke rode
Just add the 2 distances. But use your imagination for the sketch!
To sketch a visual model to find the total distance that Luke rode, we can use a number line.
First, mark a starting point on the number line to represent Luke's house. Label it as "House."
Next, divide the number line into equal parts and label them according to the distances Luke traveled. Since Luke rode 2/5 of a mile from his house to the library, mark a point on the number line 2/5 of the way between "House" and "Library." Label it as "Library." This represents the distance from Luke's house to the library.
Similarly, since Luke rode 1/2 of a mile from the library to the mall, mark a point on the number line 1/2 of the distance between "Library" and "Mall." Label it as "Mall." This represents the distance from the library to the mall.
Finally, mark a point on the number line at the end, labeled as "End" or "Final Destination." This represents the total distance that Luke rode.
Now, you can measure the distance between "House" and "End" on the number line to determine the total distance that Luke rode.
