Question

Sandra rode her bike 5 times as many miles as Barbara. If b, the distance Barbara rode, equals 3.4 miles, what is the correct expression and distance Sandra rode? b + 5; when b = 3.4 the distance Sandra rode is 17 miles. 5b; when b = 3.4 the distance Sandra rode is 17 miles. 5b; when b = 3.4 the distance Sandra rode is 8.4 miles. b + 5; when b = 3.4 the distance Sandra rode is 8.4 miles.

Answer 1

5b; when b=3.4 the distance Sandra rode is 17 miles.

Explanation:

Given that:

Sandra rode her bike 5 times as many as miles as Barbara.

It means that 5 will be multiplied by the distance rode by Barbara.

Distance by Sandra = 5b

When b=3.4 miles

Distance by Sandra = 5(3.4)

Distance by Sandra = 17 miles

Hence,

5b; when b=3.4 the distance Sandra rode is 17 miles.
