1. In the holidays Alex and Junior have been training for summer sports. They have been going for a run for most days. Alex ran 14 kilometres every day for 6 days. Junior ran 12 kilometres every day for seven days. Junior says he ran further than Alex because he ran every day for 7 days and Alex only ran on 6 days. Is he right?

 This is how we solved the problem:

                                Alex.              Junior.

                            1 Day. 14 kms           1 Day. 12 kms

                               2 Day. 28 kms      2 Day. 24 kms

                               3 Day. 42 kms   3 Day. 36 kms

                               4 Day. 56 kms           4 Day. 48 kms

                               5 Day. 70 kms   5 Day. 60 kms

                               6 Day. 84 kms   6 Day. 72 kms     

                                                            7 Day. 84 kms

What I’ve done here is for both Alex and Junior we added up  their

kilometres and their days.
