11 miles each day for the remaining 5 days. 80-25=55. 55/5=11

Answer: 11 miles each day for the remaining 5 days

Explanation:

First, you subtract the miles already done (25) from the total (80) to get 55 (miles left to do) then next divide 55 by 5 (days left), and then your left with 11. Finally, check the work and see how 11x5=55 then 55+25=80.

That's how to get the answer :)
