Q. Wendy jogs a 5.5-mile route in the city with her running club once a week. She also jogs a nature trail near her home once a week. The nature trail is 1.5 times as long as the route in the city. How many miles does Wendy jog in all each week?Write your answer as a whole number or decimal.____ miles
Calculate trail length: Calculate the length of the nature trail. Nature trail =1.5× city route =1.5×5.5 miles.
Find total distance: Add the lengths of both routes to find the total distance Wendy jogs each week. Total distance = 5.5 miles (city route) + 8.25 miles (nature trail).
Sum up distances: Sum up the distances. 5.5+8.25=13.75 miles.
