Answer:

He walk all together 11,710 ft.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Simon walked 1 mile from his home to the library and 575 feet from the library to the post office.

He followed the same path to go back from the post office to his home.

Now, to find the distance altogether he walk.

Distance Simon walked from his home to the library = 1 mile.

So, first we convert mile into feet by using conversion factor:

1 mile = 5280 feet.

Thus, Simon walked 5280 feet from his home to the library.

Then, he walked 575 feet from the library to the post office.

Now, to get distance Simon walk from his home to post office by adding the distance he walked from home to library to the distance he walked from library to post office:

[tex]575\ feet\ +\ 5280\ feet\\\\=5,855\ feet.[/tex]

Hence, the distance Simon walk from his home to post office is 5,855 feet.

According to question, he followed the same path to go back from the post office to his home.

Now, to get the total distance Simon walk all together we multiply 2 by the distance Simon walk from his home to post office:

[tex]2\times 5855\\\\=11,710\ feet.[/tex]

Therefore, he walk all together 11,710 ft.
