Answer: See explanation

Explanation:

From the information given, we are told that on Saturday, the gymnast walked a distance of x miles while on Sunday, the gymnast walked half the distance that he walked on Saturday. ​

Therefore, the expression that represents the total number of miles the gymnast walked on Saturday and Sunday will be:

= x + (½ × x)

= x + ½x

= 1½x or 1.5x
