Question

Last week Hayden rode his bike five times time he biked a 3 mi path a 2 mi path and a 2 1/4 mile path which expression represents the total number of miles he biked A 5 x (3 + 2 + 2 1/4) B 5 + (3 x 2 x 2 1/4) C 5 x (3 x 2 x 2 1/4) D 5 + (3 + 2 + 2 1/4)

Answer 1

To find the total number of miles Hayden biked, we need to correctly interpret the situation:

Hayden rode his bike 5 times on paths of different lengths:
- Twice on a 3-mile path
- Twice on a 2-mile path
- Once on a 2 1/4-mile path

Therefore, we can write the total distance as:

Total Distance = 5 x (3 + 2 + 2 1/4)

This simplifies to 5 times the sum of the lengths of the paths he rode.

Thus, the correct expression that represents the total number of miles he biked is:

**A: 5 x (3 + 2 + 2 1/4)**
