Question

A long distance runner runs 2⁵ miles one week and 2⁷ miles the next week. How many times farther did he run in the second week than the first week?

Answer 1

he ran 96 miles farther in the second week.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that A long distance runner runs 2⁵ miles one week;

`2^5miles=2*2*2*2*2=32miles`

And 2⁷ miles the next week;

`2^7miles=2*2*2*2*2*2*2=128\text{ miles}`

The amount of miles farther he run in the second week than the first week is;

`\begin{gathered} 128-32 \\ =96\text{ miles} \end{gathered}`

Therefore, he ran 96 miles farther in the second week.
