Question

a team of runners ran a relay race 9/10 of a mile long. if carl ran 3/5 of the race, how far did his teammates run?

Answer 1

Carl's teammates ran a distance of 0.36 miles.

Explanation:

First multiply the (9/10 * 1 = 0.9 miles), to find the total miles of the race, then multiply the distance that carl ran by the total distance of the race (3/5 * 0.9 = 0.54 miles); and there you find the distance carl ran, then you subtract the distance carl ran to the total distance of the race (0.9 miles - 0.54 miles) = 0.36 miles. and the result would be the distance run by carl's teammates that is 0.36 miles.
