What is the average number of miles?

Allison wants to ride her bicycle 60 miles this week. She has already ridden 12 miles. If she rides for 6 more days, what is the average number of miles she would have to ride each day to meet her goal?

---

She has already ridden 12 out of 60 miles.  There are 48 miles left to meet her goal.

48 ÷ 6  {48 miles left divided by 6 days}
= 8 {divided}

She needs to ride an average of 8 miles each day to meet her goal.
