Question

A coach jogs 1.8 miles on Monday, 1.3 miles on Tuesday, and 1.2 miles on Wednesday. If the coach's friend jogs twice as far as the coach, how many miles does the coach's friend jog

Answer 1

Coach's friend jog 8.6 miles.

Explanation:

Given:

A coach jogs 1.8 miles on Monday, 1.3 miles on Tuesday, and 1.2 miles on Wednesday.

If the coach's friend jogs twice as far as the coach.

Now, to find the miles the coach's friend jog.

Coach jogs on Monday = 1.8 miles.

Coach jogs on Tuesday = 1.3 miles.

Coach jogs on Wednesday = 1.2 miles.

Total miles coach jog =
`1.8+1.3+1.2=4.3\ miles.`

As, coach's friend jogs twice as coach.

So, to get the miles coach's friend jogs multiply total miles coach jog by 2 we get:

`Total\ miles\ coach\ jog* 2`

`4.3* 2\\\\=8.6\ miles.`

Therefore, coach's friend jog 8.6 miles.
