1) Billy walks 15 miles every day to soccer practice, and catches a ride home from his grandma. Billy had 5 practices last week. How many yards did billy walk last week to practice. 1760 yards

2) Marks age is,t, is 3 times his age 10 years ago. Write an equation to represent the statement

Answer 1

1 ) Billy walks 15 miles every day to soccer practice and he had 5 practices last week.

We know that, 1 mile = 1760 yards

So, 15 miles = (15× 1760) yards = 26400 yards

Thus the total distance walked in 5 practices will be:
`(26400*5)yards = 132000 yards`

2) Mark's current age is
`t` years

So, his age was in 10 years ago
`=(t-10)years`

Given that, his current age is 3 times his age 10 years ago.

So, the equation to represent this situation will be :
`t= 3(t-10)`
