Question

Rachel jogged along a trail that was 1/4 of a mile long. She jogged along the trail 8 times. How many miles did Rachel jog?

Answer 1

Rachel jogged along a trail that was '1/4' of a mile long. She jogged along the trail '8 times'
Notice the key word, 'times', this means you are going to use multiplication.
Convert 8 into a fraction, like this:

`(8)/(1)`
Now, lets set up your problem, and solve:

`(1)/(4) * (8)/(1)`

`((1*8))/((4*1))`

`(8)/(4)`
Answer:

`2~miles`

Rachel had jogged 2 miles.

Good luck with your studies, I hope this helps~!

Answer 2

2 miles, 1/4 x 8 = 8/4 = 2
