5,150 m
5.2 km
5,050 m
4.95 km
Which runner ran the second longest distance?
Convert all to meters:
5,150 m
5.2 km = 5,200 m

A runner trains for three days and runs the same distance each day.
Their total distance was greater than 13 km but less than 15 km.
What is the range of possible distances they could have run each day?
Total range: 13 km to 15 km
