To find out how many miles does each person run, we can divide the total miles by 4 as each part is equal:

14÷4

=3.5miles

Each of them have to run 3.5 miles.

To prove the answer, we can multiply it by 4 to see if it is the original distance:

3.5 x 4

=14miles

Therefore 3.5 is the answer.

Hope it helps!

Ella and 3 friends= 4 people

14 miles/4 people = 3.5 miles for each person.


To check, you could multiply 3.5 by 4. If it equals 14, you did it right!
