jack wants to run at least 275 miles before the baseball season begins. he has already run 25 miles. he plans to run 2.5 miles each day. at this rate what is the fewest number of days he will need to reach his goal

Hey there! I'm happy to help!

We see that Jack has already run 25 miles.

25

He also wants to run 2.5 miles every day. This means we will multiply 2.5 miles by the number of days he runs. We will call the number of days x.

25+2.5x

And he needs this to equal 275.

25+2.5=275

We subtract 25 from both sides.

2.5x=250

We divide both sides by 2.5

x=100

So, Jack will need to run 100 days to meet his goal.

Have a wonderful day and keep on learning! :D
