Q. To get to school, Da'Quon walks 0.6 miles from his house to the bus stop. He then takes the bus for 3.9 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 5.4. What is the greatest possible number of miles he walks after getting off the bus?Choose 1 answer:(A) 0.0 miles(B) 0.3 miles(C) 0.9 miles(D) 1.5 miles
Identify total distance: Identify the total distance Da′Quon travels to school and the distances he covers by walking and by bus.Total distance to school: 5.4 milesDistance walked to the bus stop: 0.6 milesDistance by bus: 3.9 miles
Calculate remaining distance: Calculate the remaining distance Da'Quon can walk after getting off the bus without exceeding the total distance to school.Remaining distance = Total distance to school - (Distance walked to the bus stop + Distance by bus)Remaining distance = 5.4 miles - (0.6 miles + 3.9 miles)
Perform calculation for greatest distance: Perform the calculation from Step 2 to find the greatest possible number of miles Da'Quon can walk after getting off the bus.Remaining distance = 5.4 miles - 4.5 milesRemaining distance = 0.9 miles
Choose correct answer: Choose the correct answer from the given choices that matches the calculated remaining distance.The greatest possible number of miles Da'Quon can walk after getting off the bus is 0.9 miles, which corresponds to choice (C).
