Every morning Leah runs about 5/8 mile. At this rate, about how many miles does leah run in 2 weeks?
5/8 * 14 = ?
2 weeks=14 days
(5/8)*14=(5*14)/8=(5*2*7)/(2*4)
=(5*7)/4=35/4=(32/4)+(3/4)= 8 3/4 =
8.75 miles
5x+4=y
y-3x=7
To find out how many miles Leah runs in 2 weeks, we need to calculate the total distance she covers in one day and then multiply it by the number of days in two weeks.
Step 1: Calculate the distance Leah runs in one day.
Given that she runs about 5/8 mile each day.
Distance Leah runs in one day = 5/8 mile
Step 2: Determine the number of days in two weeks.
There are 7 days in one week.
So, to find the number of days in two weeks, multiply 7 by 2.
Number of days in two weeks = 7 days/week x 2 weeks = 14 days
Step 3: Calculate the total distance Leah runs in 2 weeks.
Multiply the distance Leah runs in one day by the number of days in two weeks.
Total distance Leah runs in 2 weeks = (5/8 mile) x 14 days
To simplify this, multiply the numerators (5 x 14) and the denominators (8 x 1):
Total distance Leah runs in 2 weeks = (70/8) miles
Therefore, Leah runs approximately 8 and 3/4 miles in two weeks.
