Given problem

Last week Ashley ran 9 miles less than Jennifer. Ashley ran 15.2 miles.

What to find

How many miles did Jennifer run?

What to do

Ashley ran 15.2 miles, which is 9 less than the distance Jennifer ran. Let's call this distance j.

To find j, we form an equation: 15.2 = j - 9

Add 9 to both sides: 15.2 + 9 = j

Simplify: j = 24.2

Therefore, Jennifer ran 24.2 miles.
