Jed decided he needs to start exercising more. On Monday, he runs 2 miles. on Tuesday, he runs 4 miles. On Wedsnesday he runs six miles. He continues with this pattern each day for five days, Monday through Friday. How many total miles did he run in the first five days?

2 + 4 + 6 + 8 + 10 = ?

30 miles?

Right.

Thanks

You're welcome.

To find the total number of miles Jed ran in the first five days, we need to add up the distances for each day.

Jed runs 2 miles on Monday, 4 miles on Tuesday, 6 miles on Wednesday, and so on, following the pattern of adding 2 miles each day.

So the distances Jed runs each day are: 2, 4, 6, 8, and 10 miles.

To find the total number of miles, we add these distances together:

2 + 4 + 6 + 8 + 10 = 30

Therefore, Jed ran a total of 30 miles in the first five days.
