Raymond had already run 3 miles on his own, and he expects to run 1 mile during each track practice. How many track practices would it take for Raymond to run 45 miles?

Answer in the number of practices.

Answer 1

11.25, or 42

If 3 miles every practice too, then:

3+1 = 4

45/4 = 11.25

If 3 miles already, then always 1 mile:

45 - 3 = 42

42/1 = 42
