1. library inventory

the school library has a fiction section with 600 books and a non - fiction section with 511 books. what is the total number of books in both sections combined?

1. training run

a marathon runner ran 1,111 miles in 2023. in 2024, she plans to run exactly twice that distance. how many miles does she plan to run in 2024?

Explanation:

Problem 1: Library Inventory

Step1: Identify the number of books in each section

Fiction: \( 600 \) books, Non - fiction: \( 511 \) books.

Step2: Add the number of books in both sections

Total books \( = 600+511\)
\( 600 + 511=1111\)

Step1: Identify the distance run in 2023

Distance in 2023: \( 1111 \) miles.

Step2: Calculate the distance for 2024 (twice the 2023 distance)

Distance in 2024 \(=2\times1111\)
\( 2\times1111 = 2222\)

Answer:

The total number of books in both sections combined is \( 1111 \).
