Dominique bikes 1/6 mile every day. How many days will it take her to bike 8 miles?

1 day = 1/6m

d = 8 m

the equation to set up is

1/6d=8 solve for the number of days

1/6d*6=8*6

d=48

1/6 of a mi - 1 day, 2/6 of a mi - 2 days, 3/6 of a mi - 3 days, 4/6 of a mi - 4 days, 5/6 of a mile - 5 days, 1 mile - 6 days, 1 1/6 mi - 7 days, 1 2/6 mi - 8 days, so on & so forth, do you understand?
