Decinals Whiting and solving a one-step equation with decimals that models a real-... Ivanna drove around a go-kart track 3 times. The distance around the track is 2.8 kilometers. (a) Let \( d \) be the total distance Ivanna drove (In kilometers). Write an equation that can be used to find \( d \). First choose an appropriate form. Then fill In the blanks with the letter \( d \) and the numbers 3 and 2.8 . \( \square \) \( + \) \( \square \) \( = \) —— \( \square \) \( = \) \( \square \) \( \square \) \( \times \) \( \square \) \( = \) \( \square \) \( \div \) \( \square \) \( \square \) (b) Solve your equation for \( d \) to find the total distance Ivanna drove. \( \square \) kilometers

To express the total distance Ivanna drove, you can think of it as the distance around the track multiplied by the number of laps she completed. Thus, for part (a), you can fill in the blanks: \( d \) \( = \) \( 3 \) \( \times \) \( 2.8 \) To represent the equation in a more familiar form, it looks like this: \( 2.8 \) \( + \) \( 2.8 \) \( + \) \( 2.8 \) \( = \) \( d \) This shows that she drove around the track three times. Now for part (b), let's solve the equation! Multiply \( 3 \) by \( 2.8 \): \( d = 3 \times 2.8 = 8.4 \) So, Ivanna drove a total distance of \( 8.4 \) kilometers! Now, was that a fun go-kart race or what? 🏎️💨 There’s nothing like zipping around a track to feel alive!
