Question

Jake runs either 15 kilometers or 8,500 meters a day. He alternates short and long runs. How many meters farter will he run on his two long run days than on his two short run days? Describe how you found your answer.

Answer 1

15 km = 15000 meters
2 short run days = 8500*2 = 17000 m
2 long run days = 15000*2 = 30000 m
30000 - 17000= 13000 m
He will run 13000 meters farther on his two long run days.
