Question

IXL S.8!!!! Anthony has been training for the helpful pups charity race. The first week he trained, he ran four days and at the same routes each day. He ran 1.5 miles around his neighborhood before school and a longer route at the park after school. By the end of the week Anthony had run a total of 28 miles how many miles did Anthony run each day after school? Write your answer as a whole number or decimal...

Answer 1

Anthony ran 5.5 miles each day after school

Let x represent the amount of mile he covered at the park after school. Since he ran 1.5 miles each day before school, the total distance covered each day is:

Total distance covered each day = Distance ran before school + Distance ran after school

Total distance covered each day = 1.5 + x

Since he ran for 4 days in a week, hence:

Total distance ran in a week = 4 days × (1.5 + x)

Total distance ran in a week = 4x + 6

But at the end of the week he ran 28 miles, hence:

4x + 6 = 28

4x = 22

x = 5.5 miles

Hence Anthony ran 5.5 miles each day after school
