Respuesta :
Well, Sandra would've had to ride her bike 17 miles, so the answer is b because when a number is next to a letter, you have to times it. So, 5 times by b equals 17, so that is the answer. Hope it helps!
Answer:
Option b is correct
5b; when b = 3.4 miles , the distance Sandra rode is 17 miles
Step-by-step explanation:
Here, b represents the distance Barbara rode.
As per the statement:
Sandra rode her bike 5 times as many miles as Barbara.
⇒[tex]\text{Distance Sandra rode} = 5b[/tex] miles ....[1]
It is also given that:
the distance Barbara rode, equals 3.4 miles
⇒[tex]b = 3.4[/tex] miles
Substitute in [1] we have;
[tex]\text{Distance Sandra rode} = 5(3.4)=17[/tex] miles
Therefore, the correct expression and distance Sandra rode is
5b ; when b = 3.4 miles , the distance Sandra rode is 17 miles
