Wyatt walks 3 miles each day for 6 days. Aaliyah walks 4/1/2 miles each day for 6 days. How many more miles will Aaliyah walk in 6 days than Wyatt? You may make a table to help you. Enter your answer in the box.

Answer 1

To find out how many more miles Aaliyah will walk than Wyatt in 6 days, we can calculate the total distance each of them walks over 6 days and then compare the two amounts.

Wyatt's Distance:

• Distance walked each day: 3 miles
• Total days: 6 days
• Total distance for Wyatt: \( 3 \text{ miles/day} \times 6 \text{ days} = 18 \text{ miles} \)

Aaliyah's Distance:

• Distance walked each day: \( 4 \frac{1}{2} \) miles (which can also be written as \( 4.5 \) miles)
• Total days: 6 days
• Total distance for Aaliyah: \( 4.5 \text{ miles/day} \times 6 \text{ days} = 27 \text{ miles} \)

Difference in Distance:

Now, we find out how many more miles Aaliyah walks than Wyatt:

• Difference = Aaliyah's distance - Wyatt's distance
• Difference = \( 27 \text{ miles} - 18 \text{ miles} = 9 \text{ miles} \)

Thus, Aaliyah walks 9 more miles than Wyatt in 6 days.

Answer: 9 miles
