Answer:

12 + (1/4 x 12) and 12 x 5/4

Step-by-step explanation:

We're told that Elena walked 12 miles, she also walked 1/4 of the initial distance.

Let's go ahead and determine what 1/4 of 12 is;


(1)/(4)\text{ of }12=(1)/(4)\ast12=(1)/(1)\ast3=3

So the total distance Elena walked will be;


12+((1)/(4)\ast12)=12+3=15miles

So our answers then will be 12 + (1/4 x 12) and 12 x 5/4
