Answer 1

The equation that can be used to determine the average number of miles Keilantra would have to ride each day to meet her goal is:

(28.8 - 4) / 4 = m

This equation subtracts the 4 miles Keilantra has already ridden from her goal of 28.8 miles, and then divides the result by the number of days she still needs to ride (4) to find the average number of miles she would have to ride each day to meet her goal.

Solving this equation gives: (28.8 - 4) / 4 = m

24.8 / 4 = m

6.2 = m

Therefore, the average number of miles Keilantra would have to ride each day to meet her goal is 6.2 miles.
