Answer:
3.375 miles
Step-by-step explanation:
Each day Maria walks 0.75 miles, so if she walks for 4.5 days, then 0.75*4.5= 3.375 miles.
If x is the first of the integers then the statement is:
(x) , (x+2) , (x+4) , (x+6)
This means that the smallest is x and the largest is x + 6
so:
3(x) + 2(x+6) = 293
3x + 2x + 12 = 293
5x = 281
x = 56.2
This gives us a none integer (decimal)
What now?
Wait remember how x started as the lowest? what if x was the highest instead?
x, x-2, x-4, x-6
so:
3(x-6) + 2(x) = 293
5x = 315
x = 62.2
This is as close as have gotten to the answer
Cant seem to get an integer.
Maybe error in the question or some bad math on my part.
15 feet is what I came up with.
39/40 as a decimal is 0.975
