Final answer:

Nikki runs 18 miles each week (6 miles/day for 3 days). To run 198 miles, she would need 11 weeks (198 miles divided by 18 miles/week).

Step-by-step explanation:

The question asks how many weeks it will take for Nikki to run a total of 198 miles if she runs 6 miles a day for 3 days each week. The hidden question that must be answered first is: How many miles does Nikki run in one week?

To find this, we multiply the number of miles she runs per day by the number of days she runs per week:

  • 6 miles/day × 3 days/week = 18 miles/week.

Now, to find the number of weeks it will take to run 198 miles, we divide the total number of miles by the number of miles run per week:

  • 198 miles ÷ 18 miles/week = 11 weeks.

Therefore, it will take Nikki 11 weeks to run 198 miles.
