Question

Nora jogs 414 miles on Monday. She jogs 112 fewer miles on Tuesday. Write and evaluate an addition expression to find how many miles Nora jogs on Tuesday.

Answer 1

Answer:

Let's define the variables:

M = # of miles that Nora jogs on Monday

T = # of miles that Nora Jogs on Tuesday

We know that:

"Nora jogs 414 miles on Monday"

Then we have:

M = 414 mi

"She jogs 112 fewer miles on Tuesday"

This can be written as:

T = M - 112 mi

This is the equation that we need to solve.

Here we can simply replace the value of M by 414mi and get:

T = 414 mi - 112 mi = 302 mi.

Nora jogs 302 miles on Tuesday.
