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.​

Answer 1

Hailey walked 70 miles last month.​

Explanation:

Consider the provided information.

Hailey walks at an average rate of 3.5 miles per hour.

She walked 3 weeks at her regular rate for 6 hours per week.

`3* (6* 3.5)=3* 21=63`

Hence, she walk 63 miles in last 3 weeks.

She walked 1 week at one-half her regular rate for 4 hours.

Half of her regular rate is
`3.5/2`

Therefore, the distance covers

`1* (3.5/2)4=7`

The sum of distance is: 63+7=70

Hailey walked 70 miles last month.​
