Question

6. Oliver runs a mile in 6 minutes. He left his house and

ran 2 miles North, 3 miles east, then ran back to his
house. What was the total time of Oliver's run?

Answer 1

Oliver runs a mile in 6 minutes. He runs 2 miles North and 3 miles east, so the total distance he ran is 2 + 3 = 5 miles.

Since he ran the same distance back to his house, the total distance he ran is 52 = 10 miles.

Since he runs a mile in 6 minutes, the total time of Oliver's run was 106 = 60 minutes.

Therefore, Oliver's total run time is 60 minutes.
