Question

Shana ran 6 miles in one week. This was one third of what she ran in a month. Write and solve a division equation to find how far she ran in the month

Answer 1

Answer:

Shana ran 18 miles in a month

Step-by-step explanation:

Shana ran 6 miles in one week. This was one third of what she ran in a month

Let x be the miles she ran in a month

one third  means 1/3

one third of miles she ran in a month is 6 miles

$\frac{1}{3} x = 6$

Now we solve for x

To solve for x  , we multiply 3 on both sides

1x= 18

so x= 18

So Shana ran 18 miles in a month
