1. Jolene lost her wallet at the mall. It had $10 in it. When she got home her brother felt sorry for her and gave her
$5.75. Represent this situation with an expression involving rational numbers. What is the overall change in the amount of money Jolene has?

 

 

 

 

 

2. Doug wanted to go to the comic book store so he walked outside and to the bus stop  \frac{3}{4} of a mile from his house. He rode the bus for 4.2 miles to the transit mall downtown. He decided to grab a bite to eat at the sandwich shop \frac{3}{10} of a mile from the transit mall. After eating, he went back to the transit mall and took another bus 2.1 miles to the stop nearest the comic book store. He walked the remaining \frac{1}{4} mile to the store. Represent the distance traveled to the comic book store with an expression then simplify to find one rational number.
