Mr. Amold Drives 130 miles round trip to work five days a week right in S the equation to find out how many miles

1 answer

To create an equation that represents the total number of miles Mr. Arnold drives to work in a week, we can start with the information provided:

  1. Mr. Arnold drives 130 miles for a round trip each day.
  2. He works five days a week.

Let \( m \) represent the total miles Mr. Arnold drives in a week. The equation to calculate this would be:

\[ m = \text{(miles per day)} \times \text{(number of days)} \]

Substituting in the known values:

\[ m = 130 \text{ miles/day} \times 5 \text{ days} \]

This simplifies to:

\[ m = 650 \text{ miles} \]

So, the total distance Mr. Arnold drives in a week is 650 miles.
