Question

Last month, Donovan ran 48 miles. James ran m miles. Donovan ran 3 times as far as James.

Which equation can be used to find m, the number of miles James ran?

A.
m
=
3
×
48
B.
m
=
3
+
48
C.
48
=
m
×
3
D.
48
=
m
÷
3

Answer 1

m= 48 divided by 3

Explanation:

If Donovan ran 3 times as far as James and Donovan ran 48 miles you would divide it by 3 (when something is times you would automatically do the opposite and multiply in questions like this) and get 16 miles. James ran m=16 and Donovan ran 3 times as far (48 miles)

I really hope this helps!!!
