To find out how many miles Josh bikes in one year, we can use the following steps:

  1. Determine the amount he bikes per month:
    Josh bikes 135 miles each month.

  2. Determine the number of months in a year:
    There are 12 months in one year.

  3. Calculate the total miles biked in one year:
    To find the total, we multiply the miles he bikes each month by the number of months in a year: \[ \text{Total miles in one year} = \text{Miles per month} \times \text{Number of months} \]

    Plugging in the values: \[ \text{Total miles in one year} = 135 \text{ miles/month} \times 12 \text{ months} \]

  4. Perform the multiplication: \[ 135 \times 12 \]

    We can break it down:

    • First, calculate \( 135 \times 10 = 1350 \)
    • Then, calculate \( 135 \times 2 = 270 \)

    Now, add those two results together: \[ 1350 + 270 = 1620 \]

  5. Final result:
    So, Josh bikes a total of 1620 miles in one year.

\[ \boxed{1620} \text{ miles} \]

Shorten it into just numbers

Sure! Here’s the calculation in a concise format:

  1. Miles per month: \( 135 \)
  2. Number of months: \( 12 \)
  3. Total miles in one year: \[ 135 \times 12 = 1620 \]

Final result: \( \boxed{1620} \) miles.
