To calculate the total distance traveled, we need to determine the distance between Los Angeles and Seattle and then multiply it by the number of trips.
The distance between Los Angeles and Seattle is approximately 1,129 miles.
So, the expression to calculate the total distance traveled is 1,129 miles/trip * 3 trips.
This can be written as 1,129 * 3 = 3,387 miles.
In scientific notation, the total distance traveled would be 3.387 * 10^3 miles.
Sita lives in Los Angeles, and her grandmother lives in Seattle. Sita plans to
visit her grandmother three times in the next year. What is the total distance
she will travel to make these three trips? Write and evaluate an expression that
uses multiplication to calculate the total distance traveled. Give your answer in
both decimal notation and scientific notation.
