Adrian jogs 3/4 mile each morning. How many days will it take him to jog 3 miles?
(3/4)x = 3
To solve for x, multiply both sides by 4/3.
To find out how many days it will take Adrian to jog 3 miles, we can divide the total distance he needs to jog by the distance he jogs each day.
Given:
Distance Adrian jogs each day = 3/4 mile
Total distance Adrian needs to jog = 3 miles
To find the number of days:
Number of days = Total distance / Distance jogged each day
Number of days = 3 miles / (3/4) miles
To divide by a fraction, we can multiply by its reciprocal (flipping the numerator and denominator):
Number of days = 3 miles * (4/3 miles)
Simplifying the fraction:
Number of days = 12/3 miles
As miles cancel out, we find:
Number of days = 4
Therefore, it will take Adrian 4 days to jog 3 miles.
