Grizzly · Answer 1

The average is the total number of miles run dived by the number of days.

The total number of miles is the difference of the last reading (11,477) less the initial reading (10,150) = 11,477 - 10,150 = 1,327 miles.

The number of days is 7.

The the average is:

average = number of miles run / number of days = 1,327 miles / 7 days = 189,6 miles / day.

Answer: 189,6 miles / day.
