Miguel rode 16 miles in a bike-a-thon. Will rode 5 more miles than Miguel and 18 more miles than Belle. How many miles did they ride in all?
+134 Because Miguel rode 16 miles, by ways of simple addition and subtraction we can figure out how many miles they all rode.
Miguel = 16 miles
Will = 16 + 5 miles
Belle = 16 + 5 - 18 miles
So:
Miguel = 16 miles
Will = 21 miles
Belle = 3 miles
Now, if we add them all up, we get:
16 + 21 + 3 miles
= 40 miles
