Answer 1

To calculate the total distance Sita will travel, we need to know the distance between Los Angeles and Seattle.

Let's assume that the distance between Los Angeles and Seattle is 1,000 miles.

To calculate the total distance traveled, we can multiply the distance between Los Angeles and Seattle (1,000 miles) by the number of trips (3).

Total distance traveled = 1,000 miles * 3 = 3,000 miles

In scientific notation, 3,000 miles is written as 3 x 10^3 miles.
