Question

Terrence walked 2.7 miles on the treadmill today. How many miles does he still need to walk if he wants to walk 3.6 miles today?

0.9

1.8

2.7

6.3

Answer 1

Well, he wants to walk 3.6 miles, and he only walked 2.7. He still has to walk the difference between the numbers to make it to 3.6 miles.

Answer 2

We could model an equation to represent that as well, if we let \(x\) be the distance he must walk to get 3.6 miles:
2.7 + x = 3.6
x = 3.6 - 2.7

Answer 3

its 0.9

Answer 4

Yes, that is correct. :)
