Jayden wants to be a fast runner like his big brother, Isaac. Isaac encourages Jayden to do a “30 for 30”
challenge. This would require Jayden to spend 30 minutes outside every day for 30 days doing some type
of physical activity. In return, Isaac promises to do Jayden’s chores for an entire month if Jayden can run 1
mile in 8 minutes or less by the end of the 30 days. Jayden accepts the challenge, and Isaac times Jayden’s
mile run every 5 days.
Lana took one and a half times as long as jayden to finish a project. If lana took 15 days how long did hayden take?
To determine whether Jayden meets the challenge of running 1 mile in 8 minutes or less by the end of the 30 days, we need to analyze the data collected by Isaac every 5 days. Let's break down the information and calculate Jayden's progress.
1. Start with the given information: Jayden has to spend 30 minutes outside every day for 30 days doing some type of physical activity. Isaac times Jayden's mile run every 5 days.
2. To track Jayden's progress, we need to keep a record of the time he takes to run 1 mile. We will begin with day 0, which represents the start of the challenge.
3. Every 5 days, Isaac times Jayden's mile run. We need to record these timings and compare them with the target of 8 minutes. For example, on day 5, Isaac records the time it takes Jayden to run 1 mile.
4. We need to continue this record-keeping process for each 5-day interval until the end of the challenge, which is day 30.
5. At the end of day 30, we compare Jayden's final timing with the target of 8 minutes. If Jayden's final timing is 8 minutes or less, he has successfully met the challenge. Otherwise, he has not met the challenge.
To determine whether Jayden met the challenge, we need to analyze the recorded timings and compare them with the target of 8 minutes.
