Question

Maria sets a goal of jogging 17.5 miles this week. She plans on running 2.75 miles each day for 7 days. If she follows her plan will she run exactly 17.5 or more than her goal

Answer 1

Maria plans to run 19.25 miles in total if she follows her plan of running 2.75 miles each day for 7 days. Therefore, she will run 1.75 miles more than her goal of jogging 17.5 miles.

Answer 2

Answer:

She will run more than her goal (and more specifically, she will run 19.25 miles.)

Step-by-step explanation:

To find out how many miles she will run each week, we need to multiply 7 by 2.75. This gives us 19.25.

19.25 is greater than 17.5, so therefore, she will run more than her goal.
