Write a word problem that can be solved by writing and solving a multi-step equation

Once a week, Darcy walks to her grandma’s house with a constant speed of 2 hours for every 1 mile. It takes 4 hours for her to get to her Grandma!s house. How many miles does Darcy walk in 1 year and how many hours does she spend walking them?


96 miles
192 hours

Step by step explanation:

1) miles

Since her Grandma’s house is 4 hours away and she walks 1 mile for every 2 hours, then she walks 2 miles a week.

There are 4 weeks in one month, so:
2 • 4 = 8
She walks 8 miles every month.

There are 12 months in a years, so:
8 • 12 = 96

She walks 96 miles in a year.

2) hours

She spends 4 hours every week walking to her Grandma’s house.

There are 4 weeks in 1 month, so:

4 • 4 = 16

She spends 16 hours every month walking to her grandmas house.

There are 12 months in a year, so:

16 • 12 = 192

So in 1 year, she spends 192 hours walking to her Grandma’s house.
