The of miles the group walked in 3 weeks is 44 miles

What is proportion?

Proportion can be defined as the mathematical comparison of two elements or numbers.

From the information given, we have that;

• in 1 week people walked 62 miles

• in the second week reduced to 58 miles

• in week 3 they walked 14 fewer miles during week 2

to determine the many miles did the group walk in 3 weeks, we can reduce

58 miles - 14 miles less during week 2

=44 miles.

so, number of miles the group walked in 3 weeks is 44 miles.
