You live 2 3/4 miles from school. In the morning, you walk 1/3 mile directly toward school to the bus stop. Later, when you get off the bus, you walk home the same distance. How many miles do you ride to and from school each day?
2.75 - 0.33 = 2.42 miles on the bus
2.42 * 2 = ?
2.75 - 0.33 = 2.42 miles on the bus
2.42 * 2 = 4.84 miles
4.84 is the final answer Nick

To find the total distance you ride to and from school each day, you need to calculate the sum of the distances traveled on the bus.
First, let's calculate the distance you walk in the morning to the bus stop:
You walk 1/3 mile towards school.
Next, let's calculate the distance from the bus stop to your school:
Since you live 2 3/4 miles from school and you walk 1/3 mile in the morning, the remaining distance from the bus stop to school is:
2 3/4 miles - 1/3 mile = 11/4 - 1/3 = 33/12 - 4/12 = 29/12 miles.
So, the distance from the bus stop to school is 29/12 miles.
Now, to find the total distance on the bus, you need to calculate the sum of the distance from the bus stop to school and the distance from school to the bus stop again (when you go back home):
Distance on the bus = distance from the bus stop to school + distance from school to the bus stop
Distance on the bus = 29/12 miles + 29/12 miles
Distance on the bus = 58/12 miles
Distance on the bus = 4 10/12 miles
Therefore, you ride 4 10/12 miles (or 4 5/6 miles) to and from school each day.
