Given:
Number of trips = 7
Distance from the school to the museum = 36 miles.
To find:
Write and solve equations to find how many miles the bus driver drove for the 7 trips.
Solution:
Let x be the number of trips and y be the total number of miles the bus driver drove.
Distance from the school to the museum = 36 miles.
1 trip means from the school to the museum and then from the museum to the school.
Distance covered in 1 trip = 2×36 = 72 miles.
Distance covered in x trips = 72x miles.
Substitute x=7 in the above equation to find the total distance the bus driver drove for the 7 trips.
Therefore, the bus driver drove 504 miles for the 7 trips.
