Monday . . . . . 2.5 miles Tuesday . . . . . 4.6 Thursday . . . . 6.75 Saturday . . . . . 4.8
Total = 18.65 miles Days per week = 4
Average miles per running day = 18.65/4 = 4.6625 miles
Rounded to the nearest 0.01 = **4.66 miles **per running day

To find the average distance Isabella runs each week, we add her running distances (2.5, 4.6, 6.75, and 4.8 miles) to get a total of 18.65 miles. Dividing by the 4 days she runs gives an average of 4.6625 miles, which rounds to 4.66 miles. Therefore, the average distance Isabella runs on each running day is 4.66 miles.
