Q. To get to school, Da'Quon walks 00.66 miles from his house to the bus stop. He then takes the bus for 33.99 miles. After he gets off the bus, he can choose one of several walking routes to school. The total number of miles he travels, via walking and bus, does not exceed 55.44. What is the greatest possible number of miles he walks after getting off the bus?\newlineChoose 11 answer:\newline(A) 00.00 miles\newline(B) 00.33 miles\newline(C) 00.99 miles\newline(D) 11.55 miles
  1. Identify total distance: Identify the total distance DaQuonDa'Quon travels to school and the distances he covers by walking and by bus.\newlineTotal distance to school: 5.45.4 miles\newlineDistance walked to the bus stop: 0.60.6 miles\newlineDistance by bus: 3.93.9 miles
  2. Calculate remaining distance: Calculate the remaining distance Da'Quon can walk after getting off the bus without exceeding the total distance to school.\newlineRemaining distance = Total distance to school - (Distance walked to the bus stop + Distance by bus)\newlineRemaining distance = 5.45.4 miles - (0.60.6 miles + 3.93.9 miles)
  3. Perform calculation for greatest distance: Perform the calculation from Step 22 to find the greatest possible number of miles Da'Quon can walk after getting off the bus.\newlineRemaining distance = 5.45.4 miles - 4.54.5 miles\newlineRemaining distance = 0.90.9 miles
  4. Choose correct answer: Choose the correct answer from the given choices that matches the calculated remaining distance.\newlineThe greatest possible number of miles Da'Quon can walk after getting off the bus is 0.90.9 miles, which corresponds to choice (C).
