To find Ohanna's total running distance, we can set up a proportion based on the information given.
Let's assume Ohanna's total running distance is represented by the variable d.
We know that she runs 32 miles, which is 25 of her total distance.
Setting up the proportion:
32d=251
To solve this proportion, we can cross-multiply:
(32)(1)=(25)(d)
32=25d
Now, to isolate d, we can multiply both sides by the reciprocal of 25, which is 52:
(52)(32)=(52)(25)d
154=d
Therefore, Ohanna's total running distance is 154 miles, or equivalently, 3.75 miles.
