Question

Shana ran 6 miles in one week. This was one third of what she ran in a month. Write and solve a division equation to find how far she ran in the month

Answer 1

Shana ran 18 miles in a month

Explanation:

Shana ran 6 miles in one week. This was one third of what she ran in a month

Let x be the miles she ran in a month

one third means 1/3

one third of miles she ran in a month is 6 miles

`(1)/(3) x = 6`

Now we solve for x

To solve for x , we multiply 3 on both sides

1x= 18

so x= 18

So Shana ran 18 miles in a month
