Question

track team ran 8 in one day? miles (mi) in 5 days. If they ran the same distance each day, how far did they run?

Answer 1

d = 1.75 miles

Explanation:

A track team ran 8 and 3/4 miles in 5 days.

We need to find the distance covered by it each day. Let the distance is d.

`8(3)/(4)` miles in 5 days

or

`(35)/(4)` miles in 5 days.

`1\ day=((35)/(4))/(5)\\\\=1.75\ \text{miles}`

So, each day the team will cover 1.75 miles.
