Question

I need help with these questions. The average mail carrier walks 4.8 kilometers in a work day. How far do most mail carriers walk in a 6- day week? There are 27 working days in July, so how far will a mail carrier walk in July?

Answer 1

To solve the first question, you need to multiply the average distance walked by the mail carrier (4.8) by 6.

4.8
* 6
----

First step is to multiply 8 by 6 to get 48; we carry the 4 up and write down 8

4
4.8
* 6
----
8.

next step is to multiply 4 by 6, to get 24.. and then add 4 to that to get 28 and write that down


4.8
* 6
----
286.

Finally, to get the decimal places right in the number, we move the decimal place left by one place (since the first number has one decimal place, and the second number has 0 decimal places) so that the final answer is 28.6 kilometers


4.8
* 6
----
28.6 kilometers
