Question

Yasmin ran 6 2/3 miles on wednesday.On saturday she ran 2 1/4 times as far as she did on wednesday.How far did Yasmin run on saturday

Answer 1

For this case we have to:

Wednesday:

`6 \frac {2} {3} = \frac {3 * 6 + 2} {3} = \frac {20} {3}`

Saturday:

He ran
`2 \frac {1} {4}` times more than on Wednesday, that is:

`\frac {20} {3} + \frac {4 * 2 + 1} {4} =\\\frac {20} {3} + \frac {9} {4} =\\\frac {20 * 4 + 9 * 3} {12} =\\\frac {107} {12} =\\8 \frac {11} {12}`

Thus, on Saturday, he ran
`8 \frac {11} {12}`miles

Answer:

`8 \frac {11} {12}`
