Renaldo drove 15 kilometers. Ernesto drove 7 kilometers more than one-third of Renaldo's distance. How many kilometers did the 2 men drive in total?
Thoughts? Step-by-step reasoning:
Renaldo = 15 km. Ernesto = (1 / 3) * 15 + 7 = 12 km. Total = 15 + 12 = 27 km. Renaldo and Ernesto drove a total of 27 kilometers.
Thus, the answer is 27.
