To find how many miles Gracie ran in the second half of the semester, we need to subtract the number of miles she ran in the first half from her grand total.
First, let's find how many miles Gracie ran in the second half of the semester.
Second Half = Grand Total - First Half
Second Half = 50 - 23
Second Half = 27
Therefore, Gracie ran 27 miles in the second half of the semester.
To find out how many miles Gracie ran in the second half of the semester, we need to subtract the mileage she ran in the first half of the semester from her grand total at the end.
We know that Gracie ran 23 miles in the first half of the semester, so we subtract 23 from 50.
50 - 23 = 27
Therefore, Gracie ran 27 miles in the second half of the semester.
So the correct answer is D) 27.
