Question

Mr.Arnold drives 130 miles round trip to work 5 days a week. Write and solve an equation to find how many miles he drives in 60 work days.

130 x 5 x 60 = 34,000 miles
130 x 60 /5 = 136 miles
130 x 60 = 68,000 miles
130 x 60 = 7,800 miles

Answer 1

To find how many miles Mr. Arnold drives in 60 work days, we first need to calculate his daily driving distance and then multiply that by the number of work days.

1. **Daily round trip mileage:** 130 miles
2. **Work days:** 60

The total distance can be calculated as follows:

\[
\text{Total miles} = \text{Daily mileage} \times \text{Number of work days} = 130 \, \text{miles} \times 60 \, \text{days}
\]

Now, performing the multiplication:

\[
130 \times 60 = 7,800
\]

Thus, the total distance Mr. Arnold drives in 60 work days is **7,800 miles**.

The correct option from your list is:

**130 x 60 = 7,800 miles.**
