Harvey and his friend Sam decided to run a footrace in their school track field to see who was better at running. While at it, Harvey runs 8 miles more than his friend Sam, who runs a total of 12 miles. Calculate the total number of miles the two friends run together.
If Harvey ran 8 more miles, then he ran a total of 12 miles + 8 miles = <<12+8=20>>20 miles.
The two friends ran a total of 20 miles + 12 miles = <<20+12=32>>32 miles
