Question

Jim drives his children to their sports activities outside of school. When he drives his son to baseball practice, it is a 6-km round trip. When he drives his daughter to basketball practice, it is an 1800-m round trip. If basketball practice is 3 times a week and baseball practice is twice a week, how many kilometers does Jim drive

Answer 1

17.4 kilometers per week

Explanation:

we know that

The number of kilometers that Jim drives a week is equal to the number of baseball practice multiplied by its round trip plus the number basketball practice multiplied by its round trip

Remember that

`1\ km=1,000\ m`

so

`1,800\ m=1,800/1,000=1.8\ km`

`2(6)+3(1.8)=17.4\ km`
