    180 inches

    Step-by-step explanation:

    This is an arithmetiic sequence. The sum of such a sequence is

    s (n) = (n/2) * (a1 + an), where a1 is the first term and an is the last (or nth) term.

    Here,

    s (10/2) (22 + 14) = 5 (36) = 180

    The total length of the runs is 180 inches.
