Every week James skis 8 miles and swims 12 miles. Write an ordered pair to represent how many miles James skis and swims in 8 weeks.

Question

What would be the ordered pair?

Answer 1

The ordered pair representing how many miles James skis and swims in 8 weeks would be (64, 96).

This is calculated by multiplying the number of miles skied and swam in one week by the number of weeks:

8 weeks * 8 miles skied/week = 64 miles skied
8 weeks * 12 miles swam/week = 96 miles swam
