Mia walks her dog twice a day. Her evening walk is two and a half times as far as her morning walk. At the end of the week she says she walked her dog 30 miles. How long is her morning walk?

9514 1404 393

  1 11/49 ≈ 1.224 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Let m represent the length of the morning walk. Then the length of the evening walk is 2.5m, and the total each day is m+2.5m = 3.5m.

The total for 7 days is ...

  7(3.5m) = 30

  m = 30/24.5 = 60/49 ≈ 1.224 . . . . miles

Mia's morning walks are 1 11/49 miles, about 1.224 miles.

the 4th choice is the correct one

step-by-step explanation:

it's equivalent, so we can say that its equal.

let's call the denominator x and the numerador is 18 less then denominator, x - 18.

multiply

2.x = 5.(x - 18)

2x = 5x - 90

90 = 5x - 2x

90 = 3x

x = 90/3

x = 30

so:
