A) 12 miles

B) 18 miles

C) 24 miles

D) 36 miles

Answer 1

Marisa rode 18 miles this week, which is 3 times the 6 miles she rode last week.

Step-by-step explanation:

The subject of the question is mathematics, specifically related to simple multiplication. Marisa rode her bike 3 times as many miles this week as she did last week. Last week, she rode 6 miles. To find out how many miles she rode this week, we multiply 6 miles by 3.We are also given that last week she rode 6 miles. We can substitute this value into the equation and solve for the miles this week. We get:

miles this week / 6 = 3

Multiplying both sides by 6, we get:

miles this week = 3 × 6

Simplifying, we get:

miles this week = 18

Therefore, Marisa rode 18 miles on her bike this week.
