Question

Nova's goal is to jog a total of 15 miles this week. In three days, she has jogged distances of 2.7 miles, 3.6 miles, and 4.3 miles. How many more miles does Nova need to jog to reach her goal?

Answer 1

Answer: 4.4 miles

Step One: Add 2.7 and 3.6.

2.7 + 3.6 = 6.3

Step Two: Add 6.3 and 4.3.

6.3 + 4.3 = 10.6

Step 3: Subtract 10.6 from 15.

15 - 10.6 = 4.4

Answer = 4.4

Answer 2

4.4 miles

Explanation:

2.7 + 3.6 + 4.3 = 10.6

Subtract 10.6 from 15 to get your answer

15 - 10.6 = 4.4 miles
