Expression 1: 2d
Explanation:
If there is one rainy day each week, then the student walks to and from school for 5 days in a week (assuming a 5-day school week). As there are two weeks in a period, the student walks for a total of 5 x 2 = 10 days. Since the distance d is covered both in the morning and afternoon (to and from school), the student travels a total distance of 2d.
Expression 2: 10d
Explanation:
Similar to the previous explanation, the student walks to and from school for 5 days in each week, and there are two weeks in a period. Therefore, the student walks for a total of 5 x 2 = 10 days. As the distance covered each day is d, the total distance travelled by the student over this period is 10d.
some students at georgia middle school like to walk to and from school. they always walk unless it rains. let d be the distance in miles from a students home to the school. write two different expressions that represent how far a student travels by walking in a two week period if there is one rainy day each week. explain how you got your answer

I apologize for any confusion caused by my previous response. Allow me to correct my explanation:
Expression 1: 4d
Explanation:
If there is one rainy day each week, then the student walks to and from school for 4 days in a week (assuming a 5-day school week excluding the rainy day). As there are two weeks in a period, the student walks for a total of 4 x 2 = 8 days. Since the distance d is covered both in the morning and afternoon (to and from school), the student travels a total distance of 2d each day. Therefore, the total distance traveled in a two-week period is 8 * 2d = 16d.
Expression 2: 8d
Explanation:
In this expression, we are calculating the total distance traveled in a two-week period. Since there is one rainy day each week, the student walks to and from school for 4 days in a week (assuming a 5-day school week excluding the rainy day). As there are two weeks in a period, the total number of walking days is 4 x 2 = 8 days. Hence, the student travels a distance of d each day. Therefore, the total distance traveled in the two-week period is 8d.
Please accept my apologies for the initial errors. I appreciate your understanding.
