Question

Shawn hikes up a mountain, back down the other side, then around the front of the mountain back to his truck. How far did he go if n = 5 and m = 6?

Answer 1

The distance Shawn went is 40.

Explanation:

Given:

N= 5 and M =6

Mountain hike = N = 5

Back down the other side = 2N+1 = 2×5 + 1 = 10 + 1 =11

From Mountain back to truck = 4M = 4×6 = 24

We need to find the total distance he went and can be calculate by adding Mountain hike with back down the other side and then from Mountain back to truck.

Total distance Shawn went = Mountain hike+ Back down the other side + From Mountain back to truck = 5 + 11 + 24 = 40

Hence Shawn went the distance of 40.
