Question

for exercises 6 and 7, use the table to answer the questions. abigails goal is to walk a total of 15 miles this week. the table shows how far she has walked after each day. 6. plot this data. 7. how many total miles will she walk if she walks every day for a week? will she meet her goal? day 1 2 3 total miles walked 2 4 6

Explanation:

Step1: Identify the pattern in the table

From the table, on day 1 she walked 2 miles, on day 2 she walked 4 - 2= 2 more miles (total 4 miles), on day 3 she walked 6 - 4 = 2 more miles. So she walks 2 miles per day.

Step2: Calculate total miles in a week

There are 7 days in a week. Since she walks 2 miles per day, the total miles walked in a week is $2\times7=14$ miles.

Step3: Compare with the goal

Her goal is 15 miles. Since 14 < 15, she will not meet her goal.

Answer:

She will not meet her goal. She will walk 14 miles in a week.
