Question

Mei runs 77.4 miles in 5 weeks. If she runs 3 days each week, what is the average distance she runs each day?

The average distance she runs each day is ____ miles.

Answer 1

5.16

Explanation:

We multiply the number of weeks by the number of days to find the total amount of days that she ran:

5 weeks × 3 days/week = 15 days

We are looking for the amount of miles/day (which represents the number of miles per day).

So, we take
`(77.4miles)/(15days)`= 5.16 miles/day
