Question

Javier runs a trail that is 36 miles long every week. On Monday he ran 2/6 of the trail. On Thursday, he ran the rest of the trail. How many miles did Javier run on Thursday?

Answer 1

Thursday he ran 22 miles

Explanation:

First we have to calculate how much he ran on Monday to subtract it from the track and know how much it ran on Thursday

36mi * 2/6 = 12mi

now we simply subtract from the total of 36 miles the 12 miles that ran on Monday

36mi - 12mi = 24mi

this means that on Monday it ran 12 miles and on Thursday it ran 24 miles
