Question

Casey likes to run. She runs an additional 1/4 mile each day. On the last day, she ran 1 1/4 miles. If she ran 1/2 mile on her first day, how many days has she been running?

Answer 1

Three days
1 1/4 = 5/4
1/2= 2/4
2/4+1/4= 3/4 the first day
5/4-3/4= 2/4
2/4 = 1/4 and 1/4 = two days
the first day+ two days= 3 days
