Answer 1

The issue with Logan's work is that he did not multiply the numbers correctly. The formula used is correct (d = rt), but he forgot to multiply the rate (70 mph) by the time (0.05 hours) properly.

The correct calculation should be:

d = rt, where r = 70 mph and t = 0.05 hours.

So,

d = 70 miles/hour * 0.05 hours = 3.5 miles.

The correct answer should be 3.5 miles, not 70.05 miles. Therefore, the correct response is:

Logan did not multiply the numbers.
