Leah is training for a bike race. She starts by biking 8 miles during every training session. Each week she plans to increase the distance of her training session by 3/4 mile.

Let w be the number of weeks. Write an expression to show the distance Leah bikes in a training session after w weeks

1 answer

To find the distance Leah bikes in a training session after w weeks, we start with her initial distance of 8 miles. Each week, she increases her distance by 34 mile.

After w weeks, the total increase in distance will be 34 miles multiplied by w weeks, which is 34w.

The expression for the distance Leah bikes after w weeks can be formulated as:

Distance after w weeks=8+34w

Thus, the final expression is:

8+34w
