To find out how many miles Josh bikes in one year, we will multiply the number of miles he bikes in one month by the number of months in a year.

  1. Determine the monthly biking distance:
    Josh bikes 135 miles per month.

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

  3. Set up the multiplication:
    To find the total distance Josh bikes in one year, we calculate: Total miles in one year=Miles per month×Number of months in a year Total miles in one year=135 miles/month×12 months

  4. Perform the multiplication:
    135×12=1620

Therefore, the total distance Josh bikes in one year is 1620 miles.
