Mr. Burns ran 14 miles last week. He only ran on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday. If Mr. Burns ran 3 miles on Tuesday and 5 miles on Wednesday , then how many miles did he run on Monday?
I've done your last two problems for you. Now it's your turn.
I'll be glad to check your answer.
11miles-5miles=6miles
Yes.
To find out how many miles Mr. Burns ran on Monday, we can subtract the miles he ran on Tuesday and Wednesday from the total distance he ran last week.
First, let's calculate the total distance ran on Tuesday and Wednesday:
3 miles + 5 miles = 8 miles
Now, let's subtract this from the total distance ran last week:
14 miles - 8 miles = 6 miles
Therefore, Mr. Burns ran 6 miles on Monday.
