Question

If, while training for a marathon, you ran 60 miles in 2/3 months, how many miles did you run each month? (Assume you ran the same amount each month) Write your answer as a whole number, proper fraction, or mixed number in simplest form.

You ran __ miles each month.

Answer 1

Answer: You ran 90 miles each month.

Explanation:

Given : If, while training for a marathon, the number of miles you run in
`(2)/(3)` months = 60 miles.

We assume you ran the same amount each month.

Then, by using the unitary method , the number of miles you run in 1 month is given by :-

`(3)/(2)*60=90`

Hence, the number of miles you run in 1 month = 90 miles

Answer 2

90 miles per month

Explanation:

To find how many miles you ran each month, take the number of miles divided by the number of months

60 miles ÷ 2/3 months

Copy dot flip

60 * 3/2

180/2

90 miles per month
