Solution Steps
Step 1: Calculate the distance walked per week
Ms. Beyman walked the track 5.5 times, and the track is 1.5 miles around. The distance walked per week is:

\text{Distance per week} = 5.5 \times 1.5 = 8.25 \text{ miles}
\]
Step 2: Calculate the total distance walked over 3 weeks
Ms. Beyman walked the same amount for 3 weeks. The total distance walked is:
\[
\text{Total distance} = 8.25 \times 3 = 24.75 \text{ miles}
