Question

Mr. Anderson drove 500 miles in April. He drove 5 times as many miles in April as he did in March. He drove 3 times as many miles in May as he did in March.

How many miles did Mr. Anderson drive in May?

Answer 1

He drove 7,500 miles in may. He drove 2,500 in March. I found this out by multiplying 500 x 5 to get 2,500 then I multiplied 2,500 by 3 to get 7,500. Hope this helped!

Answer 2

Miles in may: 7,500
Miles in march: 2,500

How to work it: 500x5= 2,500
2,500x3= 7,500
