Question

Maria sets a goal of jogging 17.5 miles this week she plans on running 2.75 miles each day for seven days if she follows her plan which is true more

Answer 1

B

Explanation:

So, to figure this out, we must find the total miles Maria ran in a week.

We know that she ran 2.75 miles each day.

She did this for 7 days.

Her goal was 17.5 miles.

So first, multiply the amount of days by the amount of miles per day:

7*2.75

=

19.25

So now we know that she ran a total of 19.25 miles in a week.

Since she onlu needed to run 17.5 miles, we can instantly rule out:

A - Runs less 17.5 miles

C - Runs exactly 17.5 miles

This leaves:

B - She runs 1.75 miles more than 17.5 miles

D - She runs 2.75 miles more than 17.5 miles

To figure out which on is correct, subtract her total miles by her goal:

19.25-17.5

=

1.75

So we know it must be:

B - She runs 1.75 miles more than 17.5 miles

This is because we figured out she ran an extra 1.75 miles.

Hope this helps! :)
