Question

Alexia has completed 3/4 of her daily run. She jogs 5 miles everyday. How many more miles does alexia have to jog to complete her daily run

Answer 1

`1.25\ miles`

Explanation:

Let

x -----> miles required to complete the daily run

we know that

Alexia has completed 3/4 of her daily run

Her daily run is 5 miles

so

Alexia has completed (3/4)(5) miles

To find out the miles required to complete the daily run subtract the miles completed from her daily run

so

`x=5-(3)/(4)(5)`

`x=5-(15)/(4)`

`x=(5)/(4)\ miles`

`x=1.25\ miles`
