Question

Hailey walks at an average rate of 3.5 miles per hour. Last month, she walked 3 weeks at her regular rate for 6 hours per week. She walked 1 week at one-half her regular rate for 4 hours. Write and evaluate a numerical expression to find the total number of miles Hailey walked last month. Choose the expression to find the total number of miles Hailey walked last month.

Answer 1

`(3.5*6*3)\text{ + (}(1)/(2)*3.5*4)`

Here, we want to find the total number of miles Hailey walked last month

We have two parts here

Initially, 6 hours per week for 3 weeks

The number of miles walked here at 3.5 miles per hour is;

`(3.5*6*3)`

Secondly, we have the second as 4 hours in a week at a rate that is one-half the regular

One-half the regular is;

`\begin{gathered} (1)/(2)*3.5 \\ \\ \text{That gives;} \\ ((1)/(2)*3.5*4) \end{gathered}`

So, we have the total as;

`(3.5*6*3)\text{ + (}(1)/(2)*3.5*4)`
