The total distance was 35 miles. Why? Well, see below:

The student ran 3 miles each day for 5 days. That can be representative of:

Day 1: 3 miles
Day 2: 3 miles
Day 3: 3 miles
Day 4: 3 miles
Day 5: 3 miles

Adding these values together, we will find that the student ran a total of 15 miles in the first five days.

As for the next set of 5 days, we can represent this by modeling like we did above:

Day 6: 4 miles
Day 7: 4 miles
Day 8: 4 miles
Day 9: 4 miles
Day 10: 4 miles

Adding the values from the second set of days, we will find that in days 6-10, the student ran a total of 20 miles.

We can add the total values together to identify the total distance the student ran during these 10 days.

15 + 20 = 35 total miles

Hence, the student ran a total of 35 miles over the course of 10 days. If you need help, let me know and I will go ally assist you.
