Question

The average mail carrier walks 4.8 kilometers in a workday. How far do most mail carriers walk in a 6-day week? There are 27 working days in July, so how far will a mail carrier walk in July? 288 meters?

Answer 1

`28.8km = 28,800m` in `6` days

`129.6 km` in 27 days in July.

So in a `6` -day week:

`4.8 xx 6 = 28.8 km = 28,800 m`

In July with `27` working days:

DIstance `= 4.8 xx 27 = 129.6km`
