    If the first Olympic started in 776 BC and the modern olympics were in 1896 ,difference between these 2 years Is 1120 years. I found this out by adding 776 bcc to 1000 year which is 324 years and then added the 896 years so I added them together I got 1896 1120 years.

    Silver 👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻
    is 547500km because you will need to times 365 by 1500 which will equal 547500km as the answer
    I think I can do GOLD👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻😬😬(This has been the longest time I spent on HW)
    From 2012 you will have a Olympic Games in 2016 and the next will be in 2020
    then 2024 then 2028 and after that would be 2032 next 2036 then 2040.😮👇🏻
    (Pause for games).
    CARRYING ON-after 2040 would be 2044-2048-2052-2056-2060-2064-2068-2072 and after 2076-2080-2084-2088-2092-2096 And I think 3018 is going to be an Olympic year as it is a even number.FINISH😸👻😴😴😴😴😴😓😓😓😓😓🤤🤤🤤🙂

    If the first Olympic games began in 776 BC and the modern games began in 1896, how long was it before the original games were modernised?

    By working this question out on apiece of paper and a little bit of help by my mum I came up with the number 1120BC.By subtracting 1896
    -0776
    1120BC: Answer

    I hope my answer is right for,I spent a lot of time on other questions but,I unfortunately did not know how to work the questions out. I did try really hard on the bronze challenge and I checked it thoroughly so, I hope it is right.

  14. Nadia Mohamed

    In the first athletes there were 1500m every year so you add every day up to December so there is 365 in each day.This is 1500-365=1265 as the answer.

    There is 365 days in a year,so an Olympic athlete runs 1500m everyday in a year.You need to do 1500 x 365 = 547,500,therefore the answer will become 547,500 m

  16. Usman Khan

    There will not be an Olympics in 3018 because it does not give a whole number when divided by 4 . 4012 will b a Olympic year because it gives a whole number when divided by four simiLair 7134 will not be an Olympics year because it doesn’t divide by 4

  17. Nabeel Ahmed

    1896-776=1120years

    I got this by doing 1896 subtract 776 wich then gave me 1120 years.

    Platinum:
    There will not be an Olympic game in 3018 as 16 and 20 has a difference of 4 so it is in the 4 time table. 18 is not the difference between 20 and 16 so in 3018 will not have a Olympic game. 4012 should have a Olympic game as it is in the 4 times table. 7134 will not have a Olympic game due to 34 is not in the 4 times table.

    If an Olympic athlete runs 1500m everyday for a year, how far has he run? Answer in m, km and miles.

    if there is 365 days in a year then you will have to do 1500m times 365 so,
    1500 times 365 =547500

  22. Shkula Mayar

    Gold:

    There will be no Olympics in 3018 because if you divide it by 4 the answer will be 754.5. There will be Olypics in 4012 because if you divide it by 4 you get a whole number which is 1003. There is no Olympics in 7134 because if you divide it by 4 it will give you 1783.5 and this or not a whole number. There will be 9 Olympic games held before 2050. There will be 6 Olympic games held between 2070 and 3046 because you need to find the difference between them which is 76, then divide it by 4 which will give you 19 and it is the answer.
