    Each girl would have ran a total of 21 miles and boys would have ran a total of 20 miles by the end of the fourth day before the couch order new javelins.

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Girls track team

    First day of practice=3 miles

    Days afterwards = 6 miles

    Boys track team

    Everyday = 5 miles

    coach will order new javelins at the end of the day that each girl's total mileage surpasses each boy's.

    First day

    Each girl total mileage = 3 miles

    Each boy total mileage = 5 miles

    Second day

    Each girl total mileage = 3miles+6miles=9 miles

    Each boy total mileage=5 miles+5 miles = 10 miles

    Third day

    Each girl total mileage = 3+6+6=15 miles

    Each boy total mileage=5+5+5=15 miles

    Fourth day

    Each girl today mileage = 3+6+6+6=21 miles

    Each boy total mileage=5+5+5+5 = 20 miles

    Difference=girls-boys

    =21-20 = 1 mile

    The fourth day is the day each girl's total mileage (21 miles) surpasses each boy's total mileage (20 miles) with a total of 1 mile
