Question: Jonathan ran 7.5 kilometers. Mercedes ran twice that distance and Davonte ran 2 kilometers farther than Mercedes. How many kilometers did Mercedes and Davonte run in total? Think carefully first, then make a decision:
Mercedes = 2 * 7.5 = 15 km. Davonte = 15 + 2 = 17 km. 15 + 17 = 32 km. Mercedes and Davonte ran 32 km in total. So the answer is 32.
