Question

Avery walks 2.5 miles each day. One day a week he only walks 1.2 miles on those days. What is the total amount he would walk in 15 days?

A) 37.5 miles
B) 42 miles
C) 40 miles
D) 38 miles

Answer 1

Avery would walk a total of 16.2 miles in 15 days.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the total amount Avery would walk in 15 days, we need to calculate how many miles he walks on a regular day and how many miles he walks on the one day a week when he only walks 1.2 miles.

Avery walks 2.5 miles per day for 6 days a week, so in 6 days he walks 2.5 * 6 = 15 miles.

On the seventh day, he walks 1.2 miles.

Therefore, in 15 days, Avery would walk a total of 15 + 1.2 = 16.2 miles.
