Jen’s goal is to run a total of 22 miles in five days. The table below shows her log for the number of miles she ran on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday. Monday: 4 3/4,Tuesday: 5 1/8, Wednesday: 0,Thursday: 6 1/4, Friday: ? How many miles must Jen run on Friday to reach her goal? Show your work.
To find out how many miles Jen must run on Friday, we need to add up the number of miles she has already run in the week and subtract that from her goal of 22 miles.
4 3/4 + 5 1/8 + 0 + 6 1/4 = 16 3/8
Jen has run a total of 16 3/8 miles so far.
Now we can subtract that from her goal:
22 - 16 3/8 = 5 5/8
Jen must run 5 5/8 miles on Friday to reach her goal.
