Question

Kay walks upstairs to make her legs stronger. Every day at work, she walks up 9 flights of stairs. If there are 13 steps in 1 flight of stairs, how many steps does Kay climb in 5 days at work?

Answer 1

We know that she walks 9 flights a day and 1 flight is 13 steps. So, 13 x 9= 117 steps a day. Since it is asking how many steps she walks in 5 days, the equation would be 5 x 117= 585 steps.

I believe the answer should be 585 steps.

Answer 2

9*13*5 = 585 steps
Now, if the question is mean, then you would have to count her climbing down the stairs too because she obviously goes home the same way, so you would multiple 585 by 2 which equals 1170. The answer is probably the first one, which is 585 steps. Hope this helps!
