Question

Jana ran 7 days last week. She ran the same number of miles every day, and she ran 28 miles in all. What is Janas rate?

Answer 1

Janas rate is of 4 miles per day.

Explanation:

Her rate is the number of miles she ran per day.

We can solve this using a rule of three.

In 7 days, she ran 28 miles. How many miles she ran a day, that is, in one day?

1 day - x miles

7 days - 28 miles

`7x = 28`

`x = (28)/(7)`

`x = 4`

Janas rate is of 4 miles per day.
