Respuesta :

Answer: 5.875 miles run on Friday to reach her goal by Jen

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Part of distance covered on Monday by Jen is given by

[tex]4\frac{3}{4}=\frac{19}{4}[/tex]

Part of distance covered on Tuesday by Jen is given by

[tex]5\frac{1}{8}\\\\=\frac{41}{8}[/tex]

Part of distance covered on Wednesday by Jen is given by

0

Part of distance covered on Thursday by Jen is given by

[tex]6\frac{1}{4}\\\\=\frac{25}{4}[/tex]

Total part of distance covered in these four days by Jen is given by

[tex]\frac{19}{4}+\frac{41}{8}+0+\frac{25}{4}\\\\=\frac{38+41+0+50}{8}\\\\=\frac{129}{8}=16.125\ miles[/tex]

Remaining part of distance will be covered on Friday to reach her goal which is given by

[tex]22-16.125=5.875\ miles[/tex]

Hence, 5.875 miles run on Friday to reach her goal by Jen.
