Question

Robert swims the 200-meter butterfly and the 150-meter freestyle at each swim meet. If he swims in 8 meets a year, how many meters will he swim?

Answer 1

You would do 200+150×8 = 1800

Answer 2

200 x 8 equals 1600 and 150 x 8 equals 1200 then you would add it together to get 2800 meters.
