On Saturday, Murphy biked x miles. On Sunday, he biked 3 times as far as he did on Saturday. His total distance biked for both days was 8 miles. How far did Murphy bike on Saturday?

Respuesta :

Answer:

2.666666666 is the literal answer, but if it needs to be rounded I'd say 2.7 or 2.6

Step-by-step explanation:

Divide the total miles by 3 and you get your answer. 2.666666666 times 3 is equal to 8.

X=2
3x+x=4x
4x= 8
so x= 2
