Question

Eric has started running for exercise. He recorded the number of miles he ran each day this week in the table below.

On Monday, Eric ran 5/7 of the distance that he ran on Wednesday.
Fill in the number of kilometers that Eric ran on Monday in the table below.
Day Number of kilometers run
Monday ___

Wednesday~9/10
​​ start fraction, 9, divided by, 10, end fraction
Friday~1 1/2
​How much did he run on Monday?

Answer 1

Once calculated it is roughly 3/5

Answer 2

`(9)/(14)` km

Explanation:

We are given that

Eric ran on Wednesday=
`(9)/(10)` km

Eric ran on Friday=
`1(1)/(2)`=
`(3)/(2) km`

We have to find how much distance ran by Eric on Monday.

Eric ran on Monday=
`(5)/(7)` of the distance that he ran on Wednesday.

To find the
`(5)/(7)` part of the distance ran on Wednesday we will multiply
`(5)/(7)` by
`(9)/(10)`

`(5)/(7)* (9)/(10)=(1)/(7)* (9)/(2) km`

`=(9)/(14)` km

Eric ran on Monday=
`(9)/(14)` km

Hence, Eric ran on Monday=
`(9)/(14)` km
