To find out how far the cyclist cycled each day, we need to subtract the cumulative distance of the previous day from the cumulative distance of the current day.

  1. Calculate the distance for Day 1.

    The distance at the start is 0 miles. The distance at the end of Day 1 is 134 miles.

    Day 1 distance=134 miles−0 miles=134 miles\text{Day 1 distance} = 134 \text{ miles} - 0 \text{ miles} = 134 \text{ miles}
  2. Calculate the distance for Day 2.

    The distance at the end of Day 1 is 134 miles. The distance at the end of Day 2 is 241 miles.

    Day 2 distance=241 miles−134 miles=107 miles\text{Day 2 distance} = 241 \text{ miles} - 134 \text{ miles} = 107 \text{ miles}
  3. Calculate the distance for Day 3.

    The distance at the end of Day 2 is 241 miles. The distance at the end of Day 3 is 336 miles.

    Day 3 distance=336 miles−241 miles=95 miles\text{Day 3 distance} = 336 \text{ miles} - 241 \text{ miles} = 95 \text{ miles}
  4. Calculate the distance for Day 4.

    The distance at the end of Day 3 is 336 miles. The distance at the end of Day 4 is 405 miles.

    Day 4 distance=405 miles−336 miles=69 miles\text{Day 4 distance} = 405 \text{ miles} - 336 \text{ miles} = 69 \text{ miles}
  5. Calculate the distance for Day 5.

    The distance at the end of Day 4 is 405 miles. The distance at the end of Day 5 is 500 miles.

    Day 5 distance=500 miles−405 miles=95 miles\text{Day 5 distance} = 500 \text{ miles} - 405 \text{ miles} = 95 \text{ miles}

    Here are the distances cycled each day: 4) Day 1: 134 miles\boxed{\text{134 miles}} 5) Day 2: 107 miles\boxed{\text{107 miles}} 6) Day 3: 95 miles\boxed{\text{95 miles}} 7) Day 4: 69 miles\boxed{\text{69 miles}} 8) Day 5: 95 miles\boxed{\text{95 miles}}
