Question

SUPREME COURT The first Chief Justice of the U.S. Supreme Court, John Jay, served 2079 days

as Chief Justice. He served 10,463 days fewer than John Marshall, who served as Supreme Court Chief Justice for the longest period of time. How many days must the current Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts serve to surpass John Marshall’s record of service?

Answer 1

John Roberts must serve a minimum of 12, 543 days to surpass John Mrshall's record of justice.

Explanation:

John Marshall = 2079 + 10, 463 = 12, 542 days

Now, we have to add 1 more day to pass John Marshall because if we do not, we would only be on the same level as John Marshall and NOT EXCEEDING him.
