Question

Joseph runs 2/12 miles on Monday. Each day after that, he runs the same 1/13 mile route every morning. His goal is to run at least 6 miles by the end of the week. Which inequality represents the least number of days after Monday that Joseph needs to run to reach his goal?
What is the least number of days after Monday that Joseph needs to run to reach his goal?

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

At the end of practice, Joseph will need to run another 1.75 miles or 1 3/4 miles.

To determine this we need to subtract the amounts he already has run during practice from the goal of 3 miles.

3 miles - 1/2 miles - 1/4 miles - 1/4 miles - 1/4 miles = 1.75 miles
