Question

jeffrey is training to run a marathon.On Monday he ran and walked a total of 11 miles. If he ran 2 miles more than twice as far as he walked, how many miles did he run?

Answer 1

11 times 2 is 22 plus the extra 2 would be 24

Answer 2

Well, if he walked a total of 11 miles, and he ran a total of twice 11 miles + 2, then we can write it out like this. Note: R = miles ran.

R = (11 * 2) + 2
If you do this equation, you end up with
R = (11 * 2 = 22) + 2
R = 22 + 2
R = 24

I hope this helps.
