Carlos ran 25 miles in 5 days. He ran the same distance each day. Write and solve an equation to determine the number of miles he ran each day. O 5x = 25 --> x = 5 miles each day O 25 + 5 = x --> X = 30 miles each day O x + 5 = 25 --> X = 20 miles each day 0 25x = 5 --> X = 1/5 mile each day

Sagot :

The equation: 5x = 25

the number of miles he ran each day = x= 5 (option A)

Explanation:

Number miles = 25

number of days for 25 miles = 5

Let the number of miles per day = x

if 5 days= 25miles

1 day = x

When you cross multiply:

x(5 days) = 1 day(25 miles)

The equation:

5x = 25

To solve the equation:

Divide both sides by 5

5x/5 = 25/5

x = 5miles

Hence, the number of miles he ran each day is 5

(option A)
