Emily took 132.4 hours to train for her marathon. Jessica is going to run the same marathon but she trained 1.45 times as long as Emily. Based on this information, which statement is true?

• Jessica trained longer because 132.4 + 1.45 = 133.85

• Jessica trained longer because 132.4 + 1.45 = 146.9

• Jessica trained longer because 132.4 x 1.45 = 191.98

• Jessica trained longer because 132.4 x 1.45 = 72.820

Answer explanation

TIMES is the key word! You would multiply on this problem.

Remember! You don't have to line-up the decimals when you are multiplying, but you do have to move your decimal to the left for each number standing behind a decimal in the original problem.

Show work where you have corrected your error!
