If you would like to solve the above problem, you can do this using the following steps:

1.2 miles * 7 days = 1.2 * 7 = 8.4 miles ... Multiply 1.2 by 7.

2.4 miles * 7 days = 2.4 * 7 = 16.8 miles ... Multiply 2.4 by 7.

8.4 miles + 16.8 miles = 25.2 miles ... Add the two products.

The correct result would be A.
