Question
Nathaniel wants to ride his bicycle 23.2 miles this week. He has already ridden 4 miles. If he rides for 4 more days, what is the average number of miles he would have to ride each day to meet his goal?
Solution
First, we need to find out how many miles Nathaniel still needs to ride to meet his goal. He wants to ride 23.2 miles and has already ridden 4 miles. So, we subtract 4 from 23.2 which gives us 19.2 miles.
Next, we need to find out how many miles he needs to ride each day for the next 4 days to meet his goal. We do this by dividing the total miles he still needs to ride (19.2 miles) by the number of days he has left to ride (4 days).
So, 19.2 miles ÷ 4 days = 4.8 miles per day.
Therefore, Nathaniel would have to ride an average of 4.8 miles each day for the next 4 days to meet his goal of riding 23.2 miles this week.
