Ok now that i understand the question better i say it is D
First, using the order of operations(PEMDAS), you would solve what is inside the parenthesis.
<span>(8.218 + 9.93) + (17.782 + 0.07)
(</span>18.148) + (17.852)
18.148 + 17.852
Now, all you would have to do is add the two sums.
18.148 + 17.852 = <span>36
</span>
The answer would be 36.
I hope this helps!
Actual distance is 75 miles
1 inch = 15 miles
Multiply 5x15
Gives you 75
