Question

Andrea enjoys running. She keeps a daily journal to record how far she runs. She wears a pedometer to calculate the exact distance in kilometers. A 2-column table with 3 rows titled Total distance Andrea Ran (kilometers). Column 1 has entries Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday. Column 2 has entries 3.6, 4.705, 5.92. What is the total distance, in kilometers, that Andrea ran over the three days?

Answer 1

The total distance Andrea ran over the three-day period is the sum of distances from Monday to Wednesday: 3.6 km + 4.705 km + 5.92 km, equalling 14.225 kilometers.

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate the total distance that Andrea ran over three days, we must add up the individual distances recorded in her journal which are 3.6 kilometers, 4.705 kilometers, and 5.92 kilometers.

Step-by-Step Calculation

1. Record the distance Andrea ran on Monday: 3.6 km.
2. Record the distance Andrea ran on Tuesday: 4.705 km.
3. Record the distance Andrea ran on Wednesday: 5.92 km.
4. Add all these distances together: 3.6 km + 4.705 km + 5.92 km.
5. Calculate the sum: 3.6 km + 4.705 km + 5.92 km = 14.225 km.

The total distance Andrea ran over the three days is 14.225 kilometers.
