Running on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday = 3 laps + 6 miles,

Tuesday and Sunday = 5 laps + 2 miles,

As given to us, Lilliana is running the same distance every day for a week.

therefore, the distance will be the same every day,

Running on Monday = Running on Tuesday,

3 laps + 6 miles = 5 laps + 2 miles

6 miles - 2 miles = 5 laps - 3 laps

2 miles = 2 laps

Divinding both side by 2,

1 mile = 1 lap

Therefore, one lap is equal to 1 mile.

Assuming that Lilliana runs x laps on Saturday.

Now, as discussed above, the distance will be the same every day,

Running on Monday = Running on Saturday,

3 laps + 6 miles = x laps

we know that 1 lap = 1 mile, so, 6 miles = 6 laps

3 laps + 6 laps = x laps

9 laps = x laps.

Hence, Lilliana runs 9 laps on Saturday.
