\hline \multicolumn{1}{|c|}{ Denver to... } & Round Trip Distance (miles) \\
\hline Cheyenne & 202 \\
\hline Albuquerque & 890 \\
\hline Las Vegas & 1,498 \\
\hline
\end{tabular}
13. Write an expression to show how much longer the round trip to Las Vegas is than the round trip to Cheyenne. How many terms does the expression have?
(Use the operation symbols in the math palette as needed. Do not simplify.)
Studdy Solution
STEP 1
1. We are given the round trip distances from Denver to three cities: Cheyenne, Albuquerque, and Las Vegas.
2. We need to write an expression that represents how much longer the round trip to Las Vegas is compared to the round trip to Cheyenne.
3. The expression should not be simplified, and we need to determine the number of terms in the expression.
STEP 2
1. Identify the relevant distances from the table.
2. Formulate the expression for the difference in distances.
3. Count the number of terms in the expression.
STEP 3
Identify the round trip distances from the table: - Distance to Cheyenne: 202 miles - Distance to Las Vegas: 1,498 miles
STEP 4
Formulate the expression for how much longer the round trip to Las Vegas is than to Cheyenne:
STEP 5
Count the number of terms in the expression :
- The expression has 2 terms: and .
The expression is and it has 2 terms.
