Question

Casey is trying to run a certain number of miles by the end of the month if Casey is 60% of the way to achieving our goals and she has already ran 24 miles how many miles is she trying to run by the end of the month

Answer 1

40 miles is her goal.

Explanation:

The problem says that 24 miles is 60% of her goal for that month.

You cab make a proportion with x being the goal for the whole month.

24/x = 6/10

You cross multiply and get:

6x = 24 x 10

6x = 240

x = 40

40 miles is the answer.
