Every day your heart creates enough energy to drive a truck for 32 kilometers. If you combined the energy created all the students in your math class for a week, how many meters could the truck drive?

PLEASE SHOW FULL WORK:>

To calculate the total amount of energy created by all the students in your math class for a week, we need to first determine the number of students in the class and then multiply that by the amount of energy created by one person's heart per day.

Let's assume there are 20 students in the math class.

To find the distance the truck could drive with all the students' energy, we need to multiply the energy created by one person's heart per day by the number of students in the class and then by the number of days in a week.

1 student's energy per day = 32 km
Number of students = 20
Number of days in a week = 7

So the total distance the truck can drive with the energy created by all students in the class is:

32 km x 20 students x 7 days = 4480 km

To convert this to meters, we can use the conversion factor 1 km = 1000 meters.

So the total distance the truck can drive with the energy created by all students in the class is:
4480 km x 1000 m/km = 4,480,000 meters

So, the truck could drive 4,480,000 meters if the energy created by all students in a math class for a week is combined.
