Explanation:

Step1: Identify the daily distance

Assume the daily distance is \( 3.85 \) meters (from the hand - written calculation).

Step2: Calculate total distance in 5 days

To find the total distance covered in 5 days, we use the formula \( \text{Total Distance}=\text{Daily Distance}\times\text{Number of Days} \).
So we calculate \( 3.85\times5 \).
We know that \( 3.85\times5=(3 + 0.8+0.05)\times5=3\times5+0.8\times5 + 0.05\times5=15 + 4+0.25 = 19.25 \). Or directly:
\[

$$\begin{align*} 3.85\times5&=\frac{385}{100}\times5\\ &=\frac{385\times5}{100}\\ &=\frac{1925}{100}\\ & = 19.25 \end{align*}$$

\]

Answer:

The total distance covered in 5 days is \( 19.25 \) meters.
