Question

Each morning Rin rides 1.5 miles to school and then rides home in the afternoon. Later in the evening, she rides to the park and back home. Over the 5 school days, she rides a total of 25 miles. Which equation can be used to find the distance she rides each evening?
A. 1.5 + x = 25
B. 1.5 + 1.5 + x = 25
C. 5( 1.5 + x ) = 25
D. 5( 1.5 + 1.5 + x ) = 25

Answer 1

Answer: The correct equation is (D). $5(1.5+1.5+x)=25.$

Step-by-step explanation:  Given that Rin 1.5 miles to school every morning and then rides home in the afternoon.

So, the total distance covered by Rin while going to  school and coming back is given by  (1.5 + 1.5) miles.

Also, in the evening, Rin rides to the park and back home.

Let, 'x' miles be the total distance covered by her while going to the park and coming back home every evening.

Therefore, the total distance that she rides everyday will be

$d_e=1.5+1.5+x.$

Since she rides a total of 25 miles over 5 school days, so the equation that can be used to find the distance she rides each evening is given by

$5(1.5+1.5+x)=25.$

Thus, (D) is the correct option.
