Lilliana ran 5 laps on Saturday because if she ran 3 laps and 8 more on Mon., Wed., and Fri., then Tues. and Sun. she ran 5 and 4 more laps, then she makes it to Sun. and runs, if you add up the total number from Mon.-Fri. and get that answer then you get then you add up the total she ran Tues. and Sun. and get that answer, then you will see the difference of 3 every set of days she ran so 11-9=5 because of the difference of 3.
