Answer:

  • Enola needs to ride 3.2 miles a day

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the question, 4 days with average rate of x and 11 miles make the total of 23.8 miles target.

This can be expressed as equation:

  • 4x + 11 = 23.8

Solve it for x:

  • 4x = 23.8 - 11
  • 4x = 12.8
  • x = 12.8/4
  • x = 3.2
