Talia is playing football with her friends. The park they're playing at is 5 miles from Talia's house. After their game, Talia is planning to go to the grocery store 3 miles away from the park and 8 miles from her home. Starting and ending at Talia's house, how many miles does Talia drive that day?
Thoughts? Step-by-step reasoning:

Talia first drives 5 miles to the park + 3 miles from the park to the grocery store = 8 miles. She next drives 8 miles from the store to home + the first 8 miles = 16 miles Talia drives that day.
Thus, the answer is 16.
