Lisa is an avid runner and is training for a marathon, so she runs everyday to achieve this purpose. In this way, she goes out to run for six days, so we have the following data set regarding the miles she runs:

1st day  = 3.2    miles
2nd day = 7.5    miles
3rd day  = 9.8    miles
4th day  = 11.5  miles
5th day  = 2.9    miles
6th day  = 3.5    miles

<span>Finally, she ran a total of:

3.2+7.5+9.8+11.5+2.9+3.5 = 38.4 miles

</span><span>What was the average distance of each run? 

This result can be get as the sum of each run (or the </span>total of miles she run<span>) divided by the numbers of days she ran.

</span>A=\frac{38.4}{6}=6.4mi

<span>Lisa's goal for this week is to run an average of 6 miles per day. How many miles does she need to run tomorrow (the 7th day) in order to achieve her goal of 6 miles per day for the week?

Let's name x the distance she must run tomorrow. Therefore, the equation for this purpose is given as follows:

</span>\frac{3.2+7.5+9.8+11.5+2.9+3.5+x}{7}=6

∴ \frac{38.4+x}{7}=6

Isolating x:

38.4+x=42

∴ x=42-38.4=3.6

Therefore, she need to run:

\boxed{3.6mi} in order to achieve the goal of 6 miles per day.

Kenny buys 4 1liter bottles of water how many millileters of water does Kenny buy
kenny6666 [7]
Kenny bought 4 1liter bottles of water

1liter is equal to 1,000 milliliters (milli means 1,000)

What that means is that in each bottle of water that he purchased, he has 1,000 milliliters

He has 4 bottles, so we simply take

4(bottles) x 1,000(amount of water in each bottle)

4 x 1,000 = 4,000 milliliters
