Answer:

3.3 miles

Explanation:

We have to find the distance Paisley has to ride in the remaining days. To find the remaining distance, subtract 7 miles from the total miles 23.5.

Remaining distance = 23.5 - 7

= 16.5 miles.

In 5 days, she has to ride a total distance of 16.5 miles.

To find the average distance that she has to ride each day, divide 16.5 by 5.

Average distance to ride each day = 16.5 ÷ 5

= 3.3 miles
