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
depending on what month you are doing some months have different days so is it a month with 30 31 or 29 days
Answer:
The answer is about \(120\ miles\)
Step-by-step 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
\(\frac{5.9}{1}\frac{miles}{day}=\frac{x}{20} \frac{miles}{day}\\ \\x=20*5.90\\x=118\ miles\)
