Final answer:
David will ride approximately 30 miles or 48.28 kilometers to and from school over 5 days. He covers 6 miles per day, and after converting to kilometers with the factor 1.60934 km/mile, the total is about 48.28 km.
Step-by-step explanation:
David travels to and from school each day, covering 3 miles one way. To find out how many miles he rides in 5 days, we need to calculate the total distance for a round trip and then multiply that by the number of days. First, we calculate the distance for one day:
- Distance to school = 3 miles
- Distance from school = 3 miles
- Total distance per day = 3 miles + 3 miles = 6 miles
Next, we calculate the total distance for 5 days:
- Total distance for 5 days = 6 miles/day x 5 days = 30 miles
To convert the distance to kilometers, we use the conversion factor where 1 mile is approximately 1.60934 km:
- Total distance for 5 days in km = 30 miles x 1.60934 km/mile ≈ 48.28 km
Therefore, David will ride approximately 30 miles or 48.28 kilometers to and from school over the span of 5 days.
