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.
To calculate the total distance Sita will travel to visit her grandmother three times in the next year, we need to know the distance between Los Angeles and Seattle. Let's assume it is 1000 miles.
The total distance traveled can be calculated using the expression: distance per trip x number of trips.
In this case, distance per trip is 1000 miles and the number of trips is 3.
Using multiplication, the expression becomes: 1000 miles x 3 trips = 3000 miles.
The total distance traveled is 3000 miles.
In scientific notation, 3000 is written as 3 * 10^3.
To calculate the total distance Sita will travel to visit her grandmother three times, we need to know the distance between Los Angeles and Seattle. Let's assume the distance is 1000 miles for this example.
To calculate the total distance, we can multiply the distance between Los Angeles and Seattle by the number of trips Sita plans to make. In this case, Sita plans to make three trips.
So, the expression to calculate the total distance traveled would be:
Total Distance = Distance between Los Angeles and Seattle * Number of Trips
Total Distance = 1000 miles * 3 trips
Evaluating the expression:
Total Distance = 3000 miles
In scientific notation, 3000 miles can be written as 3 x 10^3 miles.
