Rebecca walked 0.25 mile on Tuesday and 1.6 miles on Wednesday. How many miles did she walk altogether?
Write a vertical math sentence to solve the problem
I'm not sure what a vertical math sentence is.
Walked on Tuesday----0.25
Walked on Wednesday--1.60
Total walked---------1.85
_0.25
+1.60
_______
_1.85 miles
S s t
0.25
+1.60
------
1.85
To find the total distance Rebecca walked altogether, we need to add the distances she walked on Tuesday and Wednesday.
Here's the vertical math sentence to solve the problem:
0.25
+ 1.6
-------
1.85
Therefore, Rebecca walked a total of 1.85 miles altogether (on Tuesday and Wednesday combined).
