Question

Ms. Smith and Mr. Roberts are running a race. Ms. Smith runs 8, 305 feet. Mr. Roberts runs 2 miles. How many feet further does Mr. Roberts run? (Reminder: 1 mile = 5,280 feet)

Answer 1

Mr. Roberts runs 2,255 more feet then Ms. Smith.

Explanation:

So I took 5,280 + 5,280 = 10,560 so now I can just take Ms. Smith's 8,305 and subtract it from 10,560 which gave me 2,255 so Mr. Roberts runs 2,255 more feet then Ms. Smith.
