Milo walked to work 250 times last year and took the bus home each time the distance Milo walked each day was 3/5 Mi Milo wrote the expression 250 * 3/5 to determine the total of miles he walked to work last year just sit up evaluated Milo's expression by multiplying 3 by 250 and then dividing the product by 5 Mary evaluated my old expression by dividing 250 by 5 and then multiplying the quotient by 3 explain whether it is or person correctly evaluated my life expression you'll see equation to support your answer

Answer 1

Milo's expression is 250 * 3/5. To evaluate this expression correctly, you would first multiply 3 by 250 and then divide the product by 5.

250 * 3 = 750
750 / 5 = 150

So, Milo walked a total of 150 miles to work last year.

Mary's evaluation is to divide 250 by 5 and then multiply the quotient by 3.

250 / 5 = 50
50 * 3 = 150

Mary also arrived at the correct answer of 150 miles, but her method was not the same as Milo's. Both evaluations are correct, but Milo's method directly multiplies the distance he walked each day by the number of times he walked to work, which is more straightforward and efficient.
