Question

Cora ran 5 miles last month and will run ½ miles per week for the next 2.5 months. Hana ran 3 miles last month and will run ¾ miles per week for the next 2.5 months.

Answer 1

Explanation:

if Cora runs 1/2 mile per week and x is the number of weeks, then she will run 5+1/2x.

then determine how many weeks are in two and a half months ( depends on which month it is as there are less weeks in February than in January) but we could estimate 6.

for hana you will have 3+ 3/4x

first equation is y=5+ 1/2x and then plug 6 in for x to solve for y. the second equation is y=3+ 3/4x and plug in 6
