Question

Juan's school is doing a jog-a-thon race to fundraise for their community. His mom pledged to donate $18 for every mile Juan runs. The table below shows the amount his mom will donate for each number of miles he runs.
Start by recording the total amount Juan's mom will donate if Juan runs 1 mile.
Number of miles Donation in dollars
1
2
3
4
5

Answer 1

To find the total amount Juan's mom will donate based on the number of miles he runs, we can use the pledge amount of $18 per mile.

Let's calculate the donation for each number of miles:

- For **1 mile**:
\( 1 \times 18 = 18 \)
Juan's mom will donate **$18**.

- For **2 miles**:
\( 2 \times 18 = 36 \)
Juan's mom will donate **$36**.

- For **3 miles**:
\( 3 \times 18 = 54 \)
Juan's mom will donate **$54**.

- For **4 miles**:
\( 4 \times 18 = 72 \)
Juan's mom will donate **$72**.

- For **5 miles**:
\( 5 \times 18 = 90 \)
Juan's mom will donate **$90**.

Now, we can fill in the table:

Number of miles | Donation in dollars
--- | ---
1 | $18
2 | $36
3 | $54
4 | $72
5 | $90

So, Juan's mom will donate $18 for the 1 mile he runs.
