1. dio deeper in 1 day, the blood in your body travels 12,000 miles. this is about 4 times the distance across the united states from coast to coast. about how many miles is the distance across the united states?

Explanation:

Step1: Identify the relationship

The distance the blood travels (12000 miles) is 4 times the distance across the US. Let the distance across the US be $x$. So, $12000 = 4x$.

Step2: Solve for $x$

Divide both sides of the equation by 4. $x=\frac{12000}{4}$.
$x = 3000$

Answer:

3000 miles
