Today I explored a Web site that gave information about nature trails at Bennett Spring State Park in Missouri. I had to calculate the total distance walked by several walkers and solve some problems involving the addition and               of fractions and              . I figured out that Francisco hiked a total of               miles.

You can find out more about this topic by asking your teacher or parents to show you other Web sites.
