Answer:

1  9/40 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Just add 3/5 mi to 5/8 mi to obtain the total distance walked:

The LCD here is 5(8) = 40.

Thus, 3/5 mi converts to 24/40 mi, and 5/8 mi converts to 25/40 mi.

Adding these together, we get 49/40 miles, or

1  9/40 miles.

This is the actual total distance walked.
