Question

Each day, Steven walked 1/12 mile more than the previous day. The first day he walked 1/12, the second day he walked 2/12 mile, the third day he walked 3/12 mile. On which day did the sum of his walks total at least 1 complete mile?

Answer 1

12th day

Explanation:

First day: 1/12 mile: note the '1' in '1/12.'

Second day: 2/12 mile

Third day: 3/12 mile

One complete mile would therefore be 12/12 mile, achieved on the 12th day.
