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.
