Round that to the nearest hundredth, and she went  2.86 miles on monday.

Answer:

2.86 miles.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that Megan uses a pedometer to find how many steps she takes each school day. she took 32,410 steps over the course of 5 days.

[tex]\text{Steps per day}=\frac{32410}{5}[/tex]

[tex]\text{Steps per day}=6482[/tex]

[tex]\text{Inches in 6482 steps}=6482\times 28[/tex]

[tex]\text{Inches in 6482 steps}=181496[/tex]

1 feet = 12 inches.

[tex]\text{Feet in 6482 steps}=\frac{181496}{12}[/tex]

[tex]\text{Feet in 6482 steps}=15124.666666[/tex]

[tex]\text{Miles in 6482 steps}=\frac{15124.666666}{5280}[/tex]

[tex]\text{Miles in 6482 steps}=2.8645[/tex]

[tex]\text{Miles in 6482 steps}\approx 2.86[/tex]

Therefore, Megan walks 2.86 miles on Monday.
