Question

Reggie started a running program to prepare for track season.he ran half hour each morning for 60 days. He averaged 6.5 miles per hour. What is the total number of miles Reggie ran over the 60 day period?

Answer 1

If he ran 1/2 hr each morning, then he ran 1 hr every 2 mornings
60/2 = 30...so he ran a total of 30 hrs in 60 days
and if he averages 6.5 miles per hr....then the total miles that he ran in 60 days is (6.5 * 30) = 195 miles

Answer 2

Find his average for each day and multiply by 60.

So, 6.5/2 (Since he ran 6.5 in an hour and half an hour each day- one hour would be two days.)
6.5/2= 3.25

So his total miles would be 60 times his average 3.25.

60 x 3.25 = 195miles
