Jed decided he needs to start exercising more. On Monday, he runs 2 miles. on Tuesday, he runs 4 miles. On Wedsnesday he runs six miles. He continues with this pattern each day for five days, Monday through Friday. How many total miles did he run in the first five days?
I need help finding the answer.
2 + 4 + 6 + 8 + 10 = ?
30 miles?
Right.
Thanks
You're welcome.
To find the total number of miles Jed ran in the first five days, we need to add up the distances for each day.
Jed runs 2 miles on Monday, 4 miles on Tuesday, 6 miles on Wednesday, and so on, following the pattern of adding 2 miles each day.
So the distances Jed runs each day are: 2, 4, 6, 8, and 10 miles.
To find the total number of miles, we add these distances together:
2 + 4 + 6 + 8 + 10 = 30
Therefore, Jed ran a total of 30 miles in the first five days.
