A student walks to school every day unless it rains. Let m represent the distance, in miles, between the student's house and the school. Answer parts a-c. Write an expression for the distance the student walks on 1 non-rainy day.

1 answer

To determine the distance the student walks on a non-rainy day, we need to consider the distance from the student's house to the school and back.

Let:

  • \(m\) = the distance (in miles) from the student's house to the school.

On a non-rainy day, the student walks to school and then back home. Therefore, the total distance walked on a non-rainy day can be expressed as:

\[ \text{Distance walked} = m + m = 2m \]

So, the expression for the distance the student walks on 1 non-rainy day is \(2m\).

Summary

a) The expression for the distance walked on one non-rainy day is \(2m\).

If you have further questions for parts b and c, please provide those so I can help you with those as well!
