Question

Please answer I'm begging!!!

Answer 1

Keisha ran 2.4 miles more than Jamal.

Keisha ran 8.5 miles, how many miles did Jamal run?

m = the number of miles Jamal ran

2.4 + m = 8.5

[Keisha ran 2.4 more miles than Jamal(m), she ran a total of 8.5 miles]

2.4 + m = 8.5   Subtract 2.4 on both sides

m = 6.1

Jamal ran 6.1 miles (Your answer is the 2nd option)
