Answer 1

To find out how many miles Josh bikes in one year, we will multiply the number of miles he bikes in one month by the number of months in a year.

1. Determine the monthly biking distance:
   Josh bikes \( 135 \) miles per month.

2. Determine the number of months in a year:
   There are \( 12 \) months in a year.

3. Set up the multiplication:
   To find the total distance Josh bikes in one year, we calculate: \[ \text{Total miles in one year} = \text{Miles per month} \times \text{Number of months in a year} \] \[ \text{Total miles in one year} = 135 \text{ miles/month} \times 12 \text{ months} \]

4. Perform the multiplication:
   \[ 135 \times 12 = 1620 \]

Therefore, the total distance Josh bikes in one year is \( \boxed{1620} \) miles.
