Answer 1

To find out how many miles Josh bikes in a decade, we need to multiply the number of miles he bikes in one year by the number of years in a decade.

1. Identify the miles biked per year: \[ \text{Miles per year} = 235 \text{ miles} \]

2. Identify the number of years in a decade: \[ \text{Years in a decade} = 10 \text{ years} \]

3. Calculate the total miles in a decade: \[ \text{Total miles in a decade} = \text{Miles per year} \times \text{Years in a decade} \] \[ \text{Total miles in a decade} = 235 \text{ miles/year} \times 10 \text{ years} \]

4. Perform the multiplication: \[ 235 \times 10 = 2350 \text{ miles} \]

So, Josh bikes 2350 miles in a decade.
