5 Brett lives \( \frac{3}{10} \) mile from school. He rides his bike to and from school 5 days each week. How many miles does Brett ride each week? Show your work.

To determine how many miles Brett rides each week, let's break down the problem step by step. 1. **Calculate the Daily Distance:** - **One-Way Distance to School:** \( \frac{3}{10} \) mile - **Round Trip (To and From School):** \[ \frac{3}{10} \text{ mile (to school)} + \frac{3}{10} \text{ mile (back home)} = \frac{6}{10} \text{ miles} \] - **Simplify the Fraction:** \[ \frac{6}{10} \text{ miles} = \frac{3}{5} \text{ miles} \] So, Brett rides **\( \frac{3}{5} \) miles each day**. 2. **Calculate the Weekly Distance:** - **Number of Days Biking to School:** 5 days - **Total Weekly Miles:** \[ \frac{3}{5} \text{ miles/day} \times 5 \text{ days} = 3 \text{ miles} \] Therefore, **Brett rides a total of 3 miles each week**. **Answer:** Brett rides **3 miles** each week.
