To calculate the total distance Sita will travel, we need to know the distance between Los Angeles and Seattle. Let's assume this distance is 1,125 miles.
The total distance traveled for the three trips can be calculated by multiplying the distance between Los Angeles and Seattle by the number of trips:
Total distance = Distance between Los Angeles and Seattle * Number of trips
Total distance = 1,125 miles * 3 trips
Total distance = 3,375 miles
In scientific notation, 3,375 miles can be written as 3.375 x 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
