Answer 1

To find out how many miles Josh bikes in a decade, we need to multiply the number of miles he bikes in one year by the number of years in a decade.

1. **Identify the miles biked per year**:
\[
\text{Miles per year} = 235 \text{ miles}
\]

2. **Identify the number of years in a decade**:
\[
\text{Years in a decade} = 10 \text{ years}
\]

3. **Calculate the total miles in a decade**:
\[
\text{Total miles in a decade} = \text{Miles per year} \times \text{Years in a decade}
\]
\[
\text{Total miles in a decade} = 235 \text{ miles/year} \times 10 \text{ years}
\]

4. **Perform the multiplication**:
\[
235 \times 10 = 2350 \text{ miles}
\]

So, Josh bikes **2350 miles in a decade**.
