a) 50 miles
b) 62 miles
c) 78 miles
d) 82 miles

Answer 1

Millicent bikes a total of 16 miles to the park, 28 miles to the beach, and 34 miles back to her house. When we add all these distances, we get a total of 78 miles.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question asks us to calculate the total miles that Millicent bikes during her training which includes three separate distances. To find the total, we simply add these distances together:

• 16 miles to the park
• 28 miles to the beach
• 34 miles back to the house

Adding these up:
16 miles + 28 miles + 34 miles = 78 miles

So, the correct answer is that Millicent bikes a total of 78 miles.
