Lance and 7 other friends go to an activity center together. They each pay $5.95 for dinner, $4 for laser tag, $3.60 for bowling shoes, and $2.25 for video games. The total amount they spent is 8(5.95)+8(4)+8(3.60)+8(2.25). Rewrite the expression so that it only has one multiplication operation.

Me with this assignment ! i only partially understand, so explain. also it's a work sample. at the championship bike race, steve and paula were fighting for first place. steve was 175 feet ahead of paula and had only 300 feet left to go. he was very tired and was going only 9 feet per second. paula was desperate to catch up and was going 15 feet per second. who won the bike race and by how far did she/he win?
