Question

Solve. 10. On weekdays, Kiki walks 2 miles in the morning and I mile in the evening. On Saturdays, she walks 4 miles. Place parentheses in the expression to represent the number of miles Kiki walks each week. 5x 2 + 1 + 4 USING GROUPING SYMBOLS (C)​

Answer 1

The parenthesis should be placed as shown:

5 x (2+1) + 4

Explanation:

What Kiki walks every week day is : 2 miles + 1 mile = (2+1)

since this is done 5 times per week (on weekdays) to obtain the total walked on weekdays, you multiply this by 5: 5 x (2+1)

and we need to add to this what Kiki walks on Saturdays (4 miles){

5 x (2+1) + 4
