The correct answer to the following questions is this:

Abbys school has a track it takes eight laps around the track to run 1 mile.
This means that you have to run 8 laps in order to complete a 1 mile.
1 lap = 1/8 mile

A. What fraction of a mile is two laps around the track? Show your work or explain how you know
Since 1 lap = 1/8 mile, then 2 laps would be 2/8 mile or 1/4 mile.

Abby ran 3 1/8 miles on Monday and 1 3/8 miles on Tuesday.
B. What was the total number of miles every right on Monday and Tuesday? show your work or explain how you know
On Monday, she ran 3 1/8 miles, 1 3/8 miles on Tuesday. The total number of miles is 3 1/8 + 1 3/8 = (3+1) (1/8 + 3/8) = 4 4/8 = 4 1/2 miles.

C. How many total lasted gym run on Monday and Tuesday? Show your work or explain how you know
This seems not clear regarding the gym.
