Tomas is hoping to run a marathon next year, which is 26.3 miles. He knows that each month he trains, he can run twice as far as the month before. If he can run 3 miles during the first month of training, how many total months before the marathon should he start training to ensure he can run far enough?
In the first month he can run 3 miles.
In the second month he can run 6 miles because 3 x 2 = <<3*2=6>>6
In the third month he can run 12 miles because 6 x 2 = <<6*2=12>>12
In fourth month he can run 24 miles because 12 x 2 = <<12*2=24>>24
In fifth month he can run 48 miles because 24 x 2 = <<24*2=48>>48
He needs to start training 5 months ahead of time because 24 < 26.3 and 48>26.3.
