Question

julie goes to the park across the street from her house several times a day and jogs a total of six miles every day. she jogs three-fourth of a mile at a time. how many times each day does she go to the park to run?

Answer 1

Julie jogs 0.75miles each time. set 'x' to represent the unknown number of times. Total distance for the day is 6 miles. So, you multiply the distance of each run 0.75 times 'x' (unknown number of runs) and set this equal to 6 miles.
0.75x = 6   (divide each side by 0.75)
8 = x 

She ran 8 times each day.
