To determine the total number of miles Kate will have run after 2 weeks while running 3.5 miles each day, we can perform the following calculations:
-
Calculating the total distance she will run in the next 2 weeks:
- In 2 weeks, there are 14 days.
- Each day, she runs 3.5 miles.
- Total additional miles in 2 weeks = 3.5 miles/day * 14 days = 49 miles.
-
Calculating her total miles by the end of 2 weeks:
- Kate has already run 7 miles.
- Total miles after 2 weeks = 7 miles + 49 miles = 56 miles.
Thus, to best show this information on the graph:
-
For the M-axis (total miles run, M), the scale should go from 0 to at least 56 miles (so we can comfortably add the existing miles and the miles she will run).
-
For the d-axis (days, d), the scale should go from 0 to at least 14 days (since we want to show the next 2 weeks).
Based on this information, here are the selections:
- The scale for the M-axis of her graph should go from 0 to at least 56.
- The d-axis of her graph should go from 0 to at least 14.
