Question

Each lap around Steven's block is seven eighths of a mile. If Steven ran six

laps last week, and five and a half laps this week, how many miles has he
run? (Round to two decimal digits)

Answer 1

10.06 miles

Explanation:

Each lap around Steven's block is
`(7)/(8) = 0.875` miles.

If Steven ran six laps last week and five and a half laps this week, then the total number of laps that Steven ran is =
`(6 + 5(1)/(2)) = (6 + 5.5) = 11.5` laps.

Therefore, the number of miles that he ran will be (11.5 × 0.875) = 10.0625 miles ≈ 10.06 miles (Round to two decimal digits) (Answer)
