Question

Mitchell ran a total of 32 miles over the course of 16 track practices. How many miles would Mitchell have run after 23 track practices?

Answer 1

Given:

Mitchell ran a total of 32 miles over the course of 16 track practices.

To find:

How many miles would Mitchell have run after 23 track practices?

Solution:

We have,

Total miles over the course of 16 track practices = 32 miles

Total miles over the course of 1 track practices =  miles

                                                                             = 2 miles

Total miles over the course of 23 track practices =  miles

                                                                                = 46 miles

Therefore, Mitchell would run 46 miles.

Answer 2

Given:

Mitchell ran a total of 32 miles over the course of 16 track practices.

To find:

How many miles would Mitchell have run after 23 track practices?

Solution:

We have,

Total miles over the course of 16 track practices = 32 miles

Total miles over the course of 1 track practices = $\dfrac{32}{16}$ miles

                                                                              = 2 miles

Total miles over the course of 23 track practices = $23 \times 2$ miles

                                                                                 = 46 miles

Therefore, Mitchell would run 46 miles.
