Rachel is planning to run an average 6.4 miles over three consecutive days on the first day. She ran 6.6 miles and on the second day she ran 6.5 miles. What is the medium number of miles Rachel can run on the third day without going over planned of 6.4 miles per day
To find the medium number of miles that Rachel can run on the third day without going over the planned average of 6.4 miles per day, we need to find the total distance she has run so far and subtract that from the total distance she can run over three days.
On the first day, she ran 6.6 miles.
On the second day, she ran 6.5 miles.
The total distance she has run so far is 6.6 + 6.5 = <<6.6+6.5=13.1>>13.1 miles.
The total distance she can run over three days is 6.4 * 3 = <<6.4*3=19.2>>19.2 miles.
To find the medium number of miles she can run on the third day, we subtract the total distance she has run so far from the total distance she can run over three days.
19.2 - 13.1 = <<19.2-13.1=6.1>>6.1 miles.
Therefore, Rachel can run a maximum of 6.1 miles on the third day to maintain an average of 6.4 miles per day over three consecutive days.
