Over the course of 6 days, Tonda ran 17.22 miles. She ran the same distance each day. How far did Tonda run each day?

2.87miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Over the course of 6 days, Tonda ran 17.22 miles for 6 days, then;

6days = 17.22 miles

To know the distance covered in a day, we will writ;

1 day = x miles

Divide both equations

6/1 = 17.22/x

6x = 17.22

x = 17.22/6

x = 2.87miles

Hence Tonda ran 2.87miles per day

step-by-step explanation:

step 1: solve one of the equations for one of the variables. let's solve the first equation for y:

step 2: substitute that equation into the other equation, and solve for x.

step 3: substitute x = 4 x = 4 x=4 into one of the original equations, and solve for y.
