Question

alex runs on the track at school each weekday morning, if he runs 5.9 miles each day, about how much does he run in a month? 180,30,42,or 120 miles

Answer 1

depending on what month you are doing some months have different days so is it a month with 30 31 or 29 days

Answer 2

The answer is about
`120\ miles`

Explanation:

In this problem i will assume that

In
`1\ week` there are
`5\ weekday`

so

In
`1\ month` there are
`4\ weeks`

In
`1\ month` there are
`20\ weekday`

we know that

Alex runs
`5.9` miles each weekday

so by proportion

find how many miles run in a month

`(5.9)/(1)(miles)/(day)=(x)/(20) (miles)/(day)\\ \\x=20*5.90\\x=118\ miles`
