Margot hiked around the lake C each day. How many miles did she hike in 12 days? Draw a bar diagram to show how you solved the problem.

Answer 1

Since Margot hiked around the lake C each day, the number of miles she hiked in 12 days is equal to the distance around the lake C multiplied by 12.

Let's assume the distance around lake C is 5 miles.

Therefore, Margot hiked 5 miles around the lake C each day, so in 12 days she hiked 5 * 12 = <<5*12=60>>60 miles.

We can draw a bar diagram to represent this information:
