Question

An athlete ran 1,200 laps around a track over a two month period. He ran 4 times the number of laps in the second month than he ran in the first month. How many laps did the athlete run the first month?

Answer 1

240 because 240 x 5 =1200 one lap was 240 and the other 4 times was 1200

Answer 2

4,800 is the answer. You have to multiply 1,200 and 4 to get how many laps the athlete ran the second month
