Anya is attempting to run 120 miles for charity. She runs an equal distance each week and adds it to her total. After 6 weeks she has run 40% of her target distance. How far has she run each week?

Answer 1

To find out how far Anya has run each week, we need to first determine how much she has run in total after 6 weeks.

If after 6 weeks she has completed 40% of her target distance of 120 miles, then she has run 0.4 * 120 = 48 miles in total.

Since she ran an equal distance each week, we can divide the total distance by the number of weeks to find out how far she has run each week.

48 miles / 6 weeks = 8 miles per week

Therefore, Anya has run 8 miles each week.
