Question

Luca runs 8 miles each week. Type an equation to represent the total number of miles Luca runs given the number of weeks. Let m represent the total number of miles Luca runs and let w represent the number of weeks

Answer 1

8w = m

We know that we need the total number of miles, so m needs to be isolated on one side of the equation.

We also know that every week, she runs 8 miles.

So we can multiply 8 by w to get our other side.
