$\huge \tt {Question:}$

Shana ran 6 miles in one week. This was one third of what she ran in the month. Write and solve an equation to find how far she ran in the month.

______________________________

$\huge \tt {Given:}$

• Shana ran 6 miles per week
• It is one third of a walk of a month

_____________________________

$\huge \tt {To~Find:}$

• How much she run in a month

_____________________________

$\huge \tt {Solution:}$

Let her full walk of month be x

Then, 6 miles or 1/3x would be walk of a week

According to the question,

⅓× x = 6

x = 6×3

x = 18 miles

Hence, Shana ran 18 miles in a month
