Some of the students at Georgia Middle School like to walk to from school they always walk unless it rains let's 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 2 week period if there is one rainy day each week
Let's assume a student walks the same distance to and from school every day.
Expression 1: The distance a student travels in a 2-week period if there is one rainy day each week can be represented as:
2 * (5 - 1) * d, where d is the distance in miles from the student's home to the school. Here, "2" represents the number of trips made each day (to and from school), "5" represents the number of school days in a week, and "1" represents the rainy day in a week.
Expression 2: Alternatively, the same distance can be expressed as:
(10 - 2) * d, considering that there are 10 school days in a 2-week period and a total of 2 rainy days.
Both expressions represent the total distance traveled in a 2-week period by a student walking to and from school, accounting for one rainy day each week.
