Studdy Solution

STEP 1

Assumptions1. The miles logged on Monday is112.34 miles. The miles logged each day for Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday is84.27 miles3. The miles logged on Wednesday is the same as Monday

STEP 2

First, we need to find the total miles logged for Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday. We can do this by multiplying the miles logged each day by the number of days.
$Total\, miles\, for\, Tuesday,\, Thursday,\, and\, Friday = Miles\, logged\, each\, day \\times Number\, of\, days$

STEP 3

Now, plug in the given values for the miles logged each day and the number of days to calculate the total miles for Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday.
$Total\, miles\, for\, Tuesday,\, Thursday,\, and\, Friday =84.27\, miles \\times3\, days$

STEP 4

Calculate the total miles for Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday.
$Total\, miles\, for\, Tuesday,\, Thursday,\, and\, Friday =84.27\, miles \\times3\, days =252.81\, miles$

STEP 5

Now that we have the total miles for Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday, we can find the total miles for the week. This includes the miles logged on Monday, Wednesday, and the total miles for Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday.
$Total\, miles\, for\, the\, week = Miles\, logged\, on\, Monday + Miles\, logged\, on\, Wednesday + Total\, miles\, for\, Tuesday,\, Thursday,\, and\, Friday$

STEP 6

Given that the miles logged on Wednesday is the same as Monday, we can simplify the equation to $Total\, miles\, for\, the\, week =2 \\times Miles\, logged\, on\, Monday + Total\, miles\, for\, Tuesday,\, Thursday,\, and\, Friday$

STEP 7

Plug in the values for the miles logged on Monday and the total miles for Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday to calculate the total miles for the week.
$Total\, miles\, for\, the\, week =2 \\times112.34\, miles +252.81\, miles$

STEP 8

Calculate the total miles for the week.
$Total\, miles\, for\, the\, week =2 \\times112.34\, miles +252.81\, miles =477.49\, miles$ The total miles entered on this week's trip log is477.49 miles.
