Dog runs 200 miles in 4 days write an equation to find miles in 14 days

Answer 1

We can set up a proportion to find the miles the dog would run in 14 days.

Let "x" represent the miles the dog would run in 14 days.

Using the given information, we have the proportion:

200 miles / 4 days = x miles / 14 days.

To solve for "x", we can cross-multiply and solve for "x":

4 * x = 200 * 14.

Simplifying the equation:

4x = 2800,

Now, we divide both sides of the equation by 4 to isolate "x":

4x / 4 = 2800 / 4,

x = 700.

Therefore, the equation to find the miles the dog would run in 14 days is x = 700 miles.
