Question

Lilliana is training for a marathon. She runs the same distance every day for a week. On Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, she runs 3 laps on a running trail and then runs 8 more miles. On Tuesday and Sunday, she runs 5 laps on the trail and then runs 4 more miles. On Saturday, she just runs laps. How many laps does Lilliana run on Saturday?

Answer 1

4L + 8 = 6L + 4

2L = 4

L = 2 miles

She runs 16 miles each day

2 miles per Lap = 8 Laps on Saturday
