Question

Timmy is trying to run a marathon, which is 26 miles, at the end of the year. Every month, he adds 2 miles to how far he can run. If he starts the year able to run 4 miles, at least how many months does he have to train before he can run a marathon?

Answer 1

if he starts at four, add two until you get to 26 or you can add by 4 or 8 to go faster.

4+4+4+4+4+4+2 = 26 so it'll take him 11 months
