Question

Tyler walked two miles a day for the first week of his exercise plan. Then he walked three miles a day for the next nine days. How many miles did he walk in all?

Answer 1

42

2 x 7 is 14, and that's the answer for the first part.

3 x 9 is 27, and that's the answer for the second part.

You add 27 + 14 to find out how many miles he walked in all.

Answer 2

What we need to do is multiply the miles per day by 7 days for x number of weeks.

m*(7*x)=t (t for total)

first week 2*(7*1)=2*7=14

next 9 weeks 3*(7*9)=3*63=189

add the two answers 14+189=203

203 is your final answer.
