If tommy rode his bike 4.3 miles a day, 3 days a week for 5 years delivering news papers and he dropped 22.7 newspapers every 1/4 mile. How many newspapers did tommy drop?

Respuesta :

Answer:

277 848 newspapers.

Step-by-step explanation:

Find out how much newspaper he drops for 4.3 miles.

1/4 = 0.25

4.3 miles ÷ 0.25 = 17.2

= 17

17 x 22.7 = 385.9

(Newspapers be dropped a day)

1 week of dropping newspapers = 385.9 x 3 = 1157.7

1 month of dropping newspapers = 1157.7 x 4 =

4630.8

1 year = 12 months

5 years = 12 x 5 = 60 months.

5 years/60 months of dropping newspapers = 4630.8 x 60 = 277 848

Tommy dropped 277 848 newspapers.
