Question

Plz help me. Jose travels 34 miles from home to work on a daily basis. If she takes up a job that is 1 and 1/2 times as far as her old job, how many miles would she be traveling? Solve the problem. You MUST explain your reasoning.

Answer 1

51 miles.

Explanation:

That would be 34 * 1 1/2

= 34 * 3/2

= 17 * 3

= 51 miles.

Answer 2

I think it is either 85 or 51 because the question was not specific

Explanation:

I am not entirely sure if you mean Jose changed jobs or added a new job on top but i will do both.

34/2=17

17+34=51

OR

51+34=85
