Question 2: (6.PAR.6.3) - Some of the students at Georgia Middle School like to walk to and from school. They always walk unless it rains. Let d be the distance in miles from a student's home to the school. Write two different expressions that represent how far a student travels by walking in a two week period if there is one rainy day each week.

Answer 1

The first expression that represents how far a student travels by walking in a two week period if there is one rainy day each week can be written as:

11d

This expression represents the distance traveled by walking on 11 out of the 14 days, assuming one day each week is rainy and the student does not walk on rainy days.

The second expression that represents how far a student travels by walking in a two week period if there is one rainy day each week can be written as:

10d

This expression represents the distance traveled by walking on 10 out of the 14 days, assuming one day each week is rainy and the student does not walk on rainy days.
