Answer:
5 miles
Step-by-step explanation:
1. we have to figure out how many miles of the total 43 miles victor rides to and from school by subtracting the product of five days worth of soccer practice trips from the total miles per school week but that will give us one weeks worth of school trips, so we need to divide to find how long is one days worth.
2. we know victor goes to soccer and back every school day and its a 3.6 mile round trip so we have to multiply 3.6 by 5 because thats how many days are in a week which gives us 18.
3. next, we have to subtract our product (18) from our overall mileage (43) so the equation is: 43 - 18 = x (x being the trip to school and back) giving us 25.
4. the last step is we have to divide 25 by 5 because that subtraction just gave us the entire weeks' worth of biking to school and back, we just want one day. so we will divide and get 5. victor's round trip distance to and from school is 5 miles.
