Hey there! The answer is 1 1/8 mile.

To find the amount of miles Sarah ran, we need to multipy the length of the track by the times she run that distance.

1 (1)/(2) * (3)/(4) = (3)/(2) * (3)/(4) = (9)/(8) = 1 (1)/(8)

Rembember: multiplying a fraction means you have to multiply the numerator by the numerator (of the other fraction) and the denominator by the denominator (of the other fraction)

The answer is 1 1/8 mile.
