Question

Mindy walked 8 miles. Vera
walked 7 miles. Patty walked
5 miles. How far did Patty
and Mindy walk?​

Answer 1

I’m guessing 13 miles

Answer 2

Mindy walked 8 miles + Patty walked 5 miles. So combined it would be 13 miles. However them walking together on a path would only be 5miles because Patty stopped at 5 miles to rest. I'm not sure what answer the question wants.
