The problem in the image asks to find the total distance Alicia walked. Let's break it down.

Alicia walked:

1. **\( 2 \frac{2}{5} \) km** to college.
2. **\( 1 \frac{1}{3} \) km** to the mall.
3. **\( 2 \frac{2}{5} \) km** back home.

### Step 1: Convert mixed fractions to improper fractions
1. \( 2 \frac{2}{5} = \frac{12}{5} \)
2. \( 1 \frac{1}{3} = \frac{4}{3} \)
3. \( 2 \frac{2}{5} = \frac{12}{5} \) (same as the first distance)

### Step 2: Find the common denominator

To add these fractions, we need a common denominator. The least common denominator (LCD) of 5 and 3 is 15.

- \( \frac{12}{5} = \frac{36}{15} \)
- \( \frac{4}{

Alicia walked 2 2/5 km to college, 1 1/3 km to the mall, and 2 2/5 km back home. How many kilometers did Alicia walk in total?

Learn how to calculate the total distance walked by Alicia, involving the addition of mixed fractions (2 2/5 km, 1 1/3 km, and 2 2/5 km). This problem covers the conversion of mixed numbers to improper fractions and fraction addition, suitable for students in Grades 5-7.
