If I ran 0.24 miles how much more must I run to reach 1.5 miles?
\n" ); document.write( "

\r\n" );
document.write( "Put 0.24 under 1.5 miles and subtract:\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "1. Make sure the numbers are lined us so that the decimal of 0.24\r\n" );
document.write( "is directly under the decimal of 1.5, like this:\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "                         1.5  miles\r\n" );
document.write( "                        -0.24 miles\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "2. We have to make the top number have as many decimal places as the\r\n" );
document.write( "bottom number, so we put on a 0 after the 1.5, like this:\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "                         1.50 miles\r\n" );
document.write( "                        -0.24 miles\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "Then we subtract as usual:\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "                         1.50 miles\r\n" );
document.write( "                        -0.24 miles\r\n" );
document.write( "                         1.26 miles\r\n" );
document.write( "

\n" ); document.write( "Also, in order to run 1.5 miles in 15 minutes, how fast should I run per minute?
