Question

So far this week, Sara has run 3.5 miles. Her goal is to run a total of 8.75 miles. If Sara runs

1.75 miles per day, how many more days must she run to reach her goal? Write and solve
an equation. Check your solution.

Answer 1

Answer: 3 more days

Explanation:

8.75mi(has to run)-3.5mi(already ran)=5.25mi(left to run)

5.25mi(left to run)/1.75mi(how many she runs in a day)=3 more days (until she runs 8.75 mi)
