Question

The total number of miles Jeremy walked on a hike can be represented by using the formula mc003-1.jpg. If mc003-2.jpg and n represents the total number of hours walked, what is the total distance Jeremy walked at the end of each of the first three hours?
2 miles, 5 miles, 8 miles
2 miles, 6 miles, 18 miles
2 miles, 3 miles, 4 miles
2 miles, 4 miles, 6 miles

Answer 1

If m = 2 miles/hour, distance = m·n. For n = 1,2,3 hours the distances are:
1: 2·1 = 2 miles
2: 2·2 = 4 miles
3: 2·3 = 6 miles

Answer: 2 miles, 4 miles, 6 miles.
