Question

select the correct answer.
paige ran four miles a day last week. this week, she ran five miles a day. how did adding a mile most likely affect her workout?
a. it increased both her intensity and her workout time.
b. it decreased her intensity but increased her workout time.
c. it increased her intensity but decreased her workout time.
d. it decreased both her intensity and her workout time.

Explanation:

When Paige added a mile to her daily run, she had to cover more distance. This means she was doing more physical work, which increases the intensity of her workout. Also, since she has to run an extra mile, it will take more time to complete her run compared to last week when she ran four miles a day. So, adding a mile most likely increased both her intensity (more physical effort) and her workout time (more time spent running).

Answer:

A. It increased both her intensity and her workout time.
