Mira looks at her fitness monitor and sees that she has run 2 miles so far. If this distance is 40% of the total distance she plans to run, how many total miles does Mira plan to run?

Let's represent the total distance that Mira plans to run with "x".

According to the problem, 2 miles is 40% of the total distance, so we can write:

2 = 0.4x

To find the value of "x", we need to isolate it on one side of the equation. We can do this by dividing both sides of the equation by 0.4:

2 ÷ 0.4 = x

Simplifying the left side gives us:

5 = x

Therefore, Mira plans to run a total of 5 miles.
