Question

Hailey walks at an average rate of 3.5 miles per hour. Last month, she walked 3 weeks at her regular rate for 6 hours per week. She walked 1 week at one-half her regular rate for 4 hours. Write and evaluate a numerical expression to find the total number of miles Hailey walked last month. Choose the expression to find the total number of miles Hailey walked last month. I will send image

Answer 1

$(3.5\times6\times3)\text{ + (}\frac{1}{2}\times3.5\times4)$

Here, we want to find the total number of miles Hailey walked last month

We have two parts here

Initially, 6 hours per week for 3 weeks

The number of miles walked here at 3.5 miles per hour is;

$(3.5\times6\times3)$

Secondly, we have the second as 4 hours in a week at a rate that is one-half the regular

One-half the regular is;

$\begin{gathered} \frac{1}{2}\times3.5 \\ \\ \text{That gives;} \\ (\frac{1}{2}\times3.5\times4) \end{gathered}$

So, we have the total as;

$(3.5\times6\times3)\text{ + (}\frac{1}{2}\times3.5\times4)$
