Question

Ms. Rodriguez drove 50 miles in March. She drove 5 times as many miles in March as she did in January. She drove 3 times as many miles in February as she did in January. How many miles did Ms. Rodriguez drive in February?

Answer 1

30 miles

Explanation:

First, you'll need to figure out how much she drove in January. Her miles in January x 5 will be how many miles she drove in March, if you word the statement differently.

So 50/5 is 10

so she drove 10 miles in January.

Her miles in January x 3 will be her miles in February, so

10 x 3 = 30.

Therefore, Ms. Rodriguez drove 30 miles in February.
