Answer:

3.5 miles; 42 minutes

Explanation:

the first thing you do for kelly is determine how many days monday is away from friday

monday is 4 days away from friday

so this means that it is increased by 0.5 four times

this means that it is increased by 2

2 + 1.5 is 3.5 so on friday she ran 3.5 miles

for justice you determine how many minutes she increases per day

that is 6

saturday is 5 days away from tuesday

this means that 6 is increased 5 times

she increased by 30 minutes from tuesday

30 + 12 = 42

she will read 42 minutes on saturday
