Math Problem Statement
Jordan runs 3/4 mile each day. How many miles does Jordan run in 12 days?
Solution
The problem asks how many miles Jordan runs in 12 days if Jordan runs mile each day.
To solve this, we can multiply the distance Jordan runs each day by the number of days:
So, Jordan runs 9 miles in 12 days.
