In the sample problem, what does the variable W represent?

• The number of walks in June

• The number of walks in July

• The number of walks in August

• The total number of walks

How many walks did Fernando take in June?

• 1232

• 235

• 576

• 421

What is the total number of walks Fernando took over the summer?

• 1232

• 576

• 235

• 421

What is the first step in solving the sample problem?

• Subtracting the walks in June and July from the total

• Adding the walks in June and July

• Multiplying the walks in June and July

• Dividing the total walks by three

What is the result of adding the walks in June and July?

• 576

• 421

• 235

• 656
