Answer:

c., d., f

Explanation:

"elana walked 12 miles"

That is 12.

"then she walked 1/4 that distance"

That is 1/4 of 12 miles, so it is 1/4 * 12

She walked altogether

12 + 1/4 * 12 = 12 + 3 = 15

She walked altogether 15 miles.

a.12+1/4 = 12.25 which is not 15

b.12×1/4 = 3 which is not 15

c.12+1/4×12 = 12 + 3 = 15 which is correct

d.12(1+ 1/4) = 12(1.25) = 15 which is correct

e.12×3/4 = 9 which is not 15

f.12×5/4 = 15 which is correct

Answer: c., d., f
