Question

Jane ran 8 fewer miles this week than last week. This week, she ran 10 times

as far as John. John ran 3 miles. How many miles did Jane run last week?

Answer 1

Explanation:

John ran 3 miles this week.

Jane ran 10 times as far as John this week :

10×3 = 30 miles

but she ran this week 8 fewer miles than last week. in other words, last week she ran 8 miles more than this week :

30 + 8 = 38 miles.

so, last week she ran 38 miles.
