Question

Last week Ted ran 30 miles more than Julio. Ted ran 41 miles. How many miles did Julio run?

Answer 1

Given below

p = number of miles that Julio ran

p + 30 = number of miles that Ted ran = 41

p + 30 = 41

p = 41 - 30 = 11

Hence, Julio ran 11 miles.

Answer 2

Explanation:

Let's assume that Julio ran x miles last week.

According to the problem, Ted ran 30 miles more than Julio, which means Ted ran x + 30 miles.

The problem also tells us that Ted ran 41 miles. So, we can set up the equation:

x + 30 = 41

Now, we can solve for x by subtracting 30 from both sides:

x = 41 - 30

x = 11

Therefore, Julio ran 11 miles last week.
