Question

Imelda jogs 2 3/4 miles each weekday, Monday through Friday. On Saturday, she logs 2.5 times the daily weekday distance. On Sunday she jogs 3/4 of the daily weekday distance.

How many miles does Imelda jog on all 7 days combined?

Answer 1

Answer: 22.6875 miles

Explanation:

Monday = 2 3/4 miles = 2.75 miles

Tuesday = 2.75 miles

Wednesday = 2.75 miles

Thursday = 2.75 miles

Friday = 2.75 miles

Saturday = 2.5 × 2.75 = 6.875 miles

Sunday = 0.75 × 2.75 = 2.0625 miles

Total = 2.75 miles + 2.75 miles + 2.75 miles + 2.75 miles + 2.75 miles + 6.875 miles + 2.0625 miles

Total = 22.6875 miles
