Question

Ms. Lang lives in​ Lansing, Michigan. Last​ year, she made 4 round trips to​ Chicago, Illinois​ (a distance of 218 miles each​ way) and 6 round trips to​ Louisville, Kentucky​ (a distance of 364 miles each​ way). How many more miles did she travel in her trips to Louisville than in her trips to​ Chicago?

Answer 1

1312 miles

Explanation:

To solve this, we simply need to subtract the distance she traveled in her trips to Chicago from the distance she traveled in her trips to Louisville.

She made 4 round trips to​ Chicago, Illinois​. Each of the trips is a distance of 218 miles. This means that the total distance she traveled is:

4 * 218 = 872 miles

She made 6 round trips to​ Louisville, Kentucky​/ Each of the trips is a distance of 364 miles. This means that the total distance she traveled is:

6 * 364 = 2184 miles

Therefore, the difference between the distances she traveled is:

2184 - 872 = 1312 miles

She traveled 1312 miles more in her trips to Louisville than in her trips to Chicago.
