Roger rode his bike for 2 miles this morning, and then 5 times that amount in the evening. How many miles did Roger ride his bike for?
Thoughts? Step-by-step reasoning:
Roger rode for 2 miles in the morning, and then 5 times that in the evening for 5 * 2 = 10 miles ridden in the evening. In total, that means Roger rode 2 + 10 = 12 miles over the course of the day.
Thus, the answer is 12.
