Tessa is in the track team. For practice and exercise, she runs 2.25 miles each day. At the end of 14 days, how many total miles will Tessa have run?
2.25 miles in 1 day
1day=2.25mi
14days=x miles
1day 14days
_______ = ________
2.25mi x mi
Cross multiply
1x=31.5
divide both sides by 1
x=31.5miles
Answer=31.5miles
You first have to know what the rate is and in this case, it is 2.25 miles each day. So you multiply 2.25* 14 and you get 31.5. So Tessa runs 31.5 miles in 14 days.
Answer 31.5
