On Monday, Maggie rode 19 miles on a bike. On Tuesday, she rode 11 miles. On Wednesday, she rode 5 times as much as she did on Monday and Tuesday combined. What equation could you use to find how far Maggie rode on Wednesday (r)?

• 5 x 19 +11 = r

• 5 $\div$ (19 +11) = r
  

• 5+ (19 x 11) = r
  

• 5 x (19 + 11) = r
