Jorge traveled 5 miles to school. after school, he traveled 1 mile to the boys and girls club and then traveled 6 miles back home. what was the distance of jorge’s trip?
a. 0 miles
b. 5 miles
c. 11 miles
d. 12 miles

I'm not completely sure what you mean by his "trip".

You've described three trips that day:

==> from home to school

==> from school to the club, and

==> from the club to home.  

You also clearly listed the distance for each of those trips, so I don't think that's what you're asking.

I think you're asking about Jorge's total distance for the day, after he finished all three trips.

That distance is (5mi + 1mi + 6mi)  =  12 miles. (choice-D)

answer; how far out of place which the object finished relative to the starting location;
