Mickey and Johnny are having a contest to see who can run around their block the most. One time around the block equals 200 meters. Johnny runs around the block 4 times. Mickey runs around the block half as many times as Johnny. What is the average distance run by Johnny and Mickey? Think carefully first, then make a decision:
Mickey runs around the block twice because half of 4 is 2. Mickey runs 400 meters in total because 2 times 200 equals 400. Johnny runs 800 meters because 4 times 200 equals 800. In total, they run 1200 meters because 400 plus 800 equals 1200. On average, they run 600 meters because 1200 divided by 2 equals 600. So, the answer is 600.
