Carlos hiked 1 and 3/4 miles along a nature trail to a fork in the trial. He than hiked 2 and 1/2 along a path that led to a waterfall. When carlos reached the waterfall, how far had he hiked altogether?

its 4 1/4

3/4 mile

To find out how far Carlos hiked altogether, we need to add the distances he hiked along the nature trail and the path.

Carlos hiked 1 and 3/4 miles along the nature trail, which can be written as 1.75 miles.

Carlos also hiked 2 and 1/2 miles along the path, which can be written as 2.5 miles.

To find the total distance, we add the two distances together:

1.75 miles + 2.5 miles = 4.25 miles.

Therefore, Carlos hiked a total of 4.25 miles to reach the waterfall.
