To find out how many miles Michael needs to bike on the last day to achieve an average of 54 miles over the 5 days, we first calculate the total miles he must bike for 5 days. The formula for average is given by: \[ \text{Average} = \frac{\text{Total miles}}{\text{Number of days}} \] Therefore, the total miles needed over 5 days = 54 miles/day * 5 days = 270 miles. Now, we sum the miles he has already biked: 49 + 51 + 64 + 53 = 217 miles. To find out how many more miles he needs to bike on the last day: 270 - 217 = 53 miles. So, Michael needs to bike **53 miles** on the last day to achieve his goal.
