    1 9/40 miles

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Just add 3/5 mi to 5/8 mi to obtain the total distance walked:

    The LCD here is 5 (8) = 40.

    Thus, 3/5 mi converts to 24/40 mi, and 5/8 mi converts to 25/40 mi.

    Adding these together, we get 49/40 miles, or

    1 9/40 miles.

    This is the actual total distance walked.
