Question

alex runs on the track at school each weekday morning, if he runs 5.9 miles each day, about how much does he run in a month? 180,30,42,or 120 miles

Answer 1

depending on what month you are doing some months have different days so is it a month with 30 31 or 29 days

Answer 2

Answer:

The answer is about $120\ miles$

Step-by-step explanation:

In this problem i will assume that

In $1\ week$ there are $5\ weekday$

so

In $1\ month$ there are $4\ weeks$

In $1\ month$ there are $20\ weekday$

we know that

Alex runs $5.9$ miles each weekday

so by proportion

find how many miles run in a month

$\frac{5.9}{1}\frac{miles}{day}=\frac{x}{20} \frac{miles}{day}\\ \\x=20*5.90\\x=118\ miles$
