If you would like to know which statement for this problem is correct, you can find this using the following steps:

490 miles * 9 days + 1,292 miles = 5,702 miles ... 500 miles * 9 days + 1,300 miles = 500 * 9 + 1,300 = 5,800 miles

The correct result would be: A. 500 × 9 + 1,300 = The student's answer was reasonable.
