Every day, rose cycles to school which is 7/8 km away from his home. After school, he cycles home along the same route. What is the total distance rose cycles from monday to friday?
If Rose cycles to school and then back home along the same route, the total distance cycled in one day would be twice the distance to school.
One-way distance to school = 7/8 km
Round trip (to school and back home) = 7/8 km + 7/8 km = 7/8 km * 2 = 14/8 km = 7/4 km
Now, to find out the total distance cycled from Monday to Friday, we would multiply the daily round trip distance by 5, since there are 5 school days in a standard week.
Total distance cycled from Monday to Friday = 5 * (7/4 km)
= 35/4 km
= 8 3/4 km
= 8.75 km
So, Rose cycles a total of 8.75 kilometers from Monday to Friday.
