B. Step 1: Multiply 3.5 by 2.3. Step 2: Divide the product by 6.
C. Step 1: Multiply 3.5 by 2.3. Step 2: Multiply the product by 6.
D.Step 1: Multiply 3.5 by 6. Step 2: Multiply 2.3 by 6. Step 3: Add the two products. 10 points + 5 points if you have the brainly's answer

Answer 1

Ok so
since we h ave
3.5=1 day's morning
and
2.3=1 day's afternoon
we need to add them to find 1 day and multiply by 6 (number of days)
that answer is not listted so we make into anohter form
this wold be
6 times (3.5 +2.3)
if we distributed
a(b+c)=ab+ac
6(3.5+2.3)=6 times 3.5+6 times 2.3

this is D

Answer 2

The answer is D
Step 1 (3.5 X 6 ) = 21 miles
Step 2 (2.3 X 6 ) = 13.8 miles
Step 3 So total is (21 + 13.8) miles = 34.8 miles
