Question

keilantra wants to ride her bicycle 28.8 miles this week. she has already ridden 4 miles. if she rides for 4 more days, write and solve an equation which can be used to determine m, the average number of miles she would have to ride each day to meet her goal. answer attempt 1 out of 2 equation: answer: m =

Explanation:

Step1: Define the total miles

The total miles Keilantra wants to ride is 28.8. She has already ridden 4 miles, and will ride \( m \) miles each day for 4 days. So the equation is \( 4 + 4m = 28.8 \).

Step2: Solve for \( m \)

Subtract 4 from both sides: \( 4m = 28.8 - 4 = 24.8 \). Then divide both sides by 4: \( m=\frac{24.8}{4}=6.2 \).

Answer:

Equation: \( 4 + 4m = 28.8 \)
