Question

1-4 (add/subtract decimals)
four runners are training for long races. noah ran 5.123 miles, andre ran 6.34 miles, jada ran 7.1 miles, and diego ran 8 miles. what is the total running distance of the four runners?

Explanation:

Step1: Add Noah and Andre's distances

To find the sum of Noah's (5.123 miles) and Andre's (6.34 miles) distances, we add them: \( 5.123 + 6.34 = 11.463 \)

Step2: Add Jada's distance to the previous sum

Now, add Jada's distance (7.1 miles) to 11.463: \( 11.463 + 7.1 = 18.563 \)

Step3: Add Diego's distance to the total

Finally, add Diego's distance (8 miles) to 18.563: \( 18.563 + 8 = 26.563 \)

Answer:

The total running distance of the four runners is \( 26.563 \) miles.
