Detailed Explanation
First, calculate 13% of 3.7: 3.7 × 0.13 = 0.48 miles.
Next, add this to the distance he could already run: 3.7 + 0.48 = 4.18 miles.
Finally, subtract this number from his goal: 5 miles – 4.18 miles = 0.82 miles.
Next, add this to the distance he could already run: 3.7 + 0.48 = 4.18 miles.
