Question

Last month, Carter ran 48 miles. This was 60% of his goal. How many miles did Carter set as his goal?

Answer 1

Answer: 80 miles.

Explanation:

1. You have the following information given in the problem above:

- Carter ran 48 miles.

- 48 miles was 60% of Carter's goal.

2. Then, to calculate the number of miles that Carter set at his goal, you need to divide 48 miles by 60 and multiply this by 100, as following:

`((48)/(60))(100)=80`

3. Therefore, the answer is 80 miles.
