Question

Elena walked 12 miles. Then she walked 0.25 that distance. How far did she walk all together?

a) 12 * 1.25 miles
b) 12 * (1 + 0.25) miles
c) 12 + 0.25 miles
d) 12 + 0.25 * 12 miles

Answer 1

Elena walked 12 miles initially and then walked 0.25 times that distance. To find how far she walked all together, we can add the initial distance to the next distance.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find how far Elena walked all together, we can add the distance she walked initially, which was 12 miles, to the distance she walked next, which was 0.25 times the initial distance.

The distance she walked next can be found by multiplying 12 miles by 0.25.

Therefore, Elena walked 12 + (12 * 0.25) miles all together, which simplifies to 12 + 3 miles.

So, the correct option is (a) 12 * 1.25 miles.
