A jogger runs 2.25 miles on October 6. On October 10, the jogger runs 2.33 miles. Approximately how much farther did he run on October 10?

The closest answer to the exact distance is 422 feet. To get the exact distance, subtract the distance he jogged on 10/6 from the distance he jogged on 10/10. (2.33 miles - 2.25 miles = 0.08 miles more) Since there are 5,280 feet in a mile, you multiply: 0.08 miles times 5,280 ft/mile which = 422.4 feet further in the second time jogging.

OMG! Lord help my soul! I divided 5280/8=660ft. My math teacher is turning in her grave. Never do these quizzes after 2 glasses of white wine! A lossy happy loss.

La operación matemática es 5280 pies de una milla por .08 igual a 422.4 pies.

I don't view this as a trivia question.

Marianne Frederick Halterman, it is actually 0.08! Dividing 422 by 5280 gives 0.08

Solving without doing the correct math: It’s a bit less than 1/10 of a mile, so it had to be around 400-500 ft.

richardfmarton, that’s not what the question said.

On 10 October, he actually ran 2.33 miles further than than whatever he ran four days previously on October 6 🤔🤔

What kind of trivia question is this? If I want to be a mathematician I would join another group!!! 🙄

Shirley Dutt

That took some thinking!

Hence why the rest of the world is metric. Outdated measuring system.

Marianne Frederick Halterman

Actually 422.4 feet or 0.8 of a mile!

This is math not trivia - furthermore only one country I know of uses this measuring system these days so it is really irrelevant to most who do these quizzes.
