To find out how far Charlene walks each day between home and work, we first need to determine the total distance covered in a round trip.
We're given that the distance one way is 600 meters. So a round trip would be twice that distance, which is 600 meters x 2 = 1200 meters.
Since she takes the bus in the morning and walks home for lunch, the walking distance for the morning trip is 0 meters.
For the lunch trip, she walks from work to home, which is 600 meters.
Next, she walks back to work, which is another 600 meters.
Finally, she walks home in the evening, which is again 600 meters.
So, the total distance she walks each day between home and work is: 0 meters (morning) + 600 meters (lunch) + 600 meters (back to work) + 600 meters (evening) = 1800 meters.
Therefore, Charlene walks 1.8 kilometers each day between home and work (since 1 kilometer = 1000 meters).
Hence, the correct answer is 1.8 kilometers.
