5/7 * 4/5 = Sara's distance around the track
20/35 = 4/7

Answer:


\texttt{Fraction of total distance around the track did Sara run = }(4)/(7)

Explanation:

Let the school track's length be s.

Jason ran 5/7 of the distance around the school track.


\texttt{Distance ran by Jason = }(5)/(7)s

Sara ran 4/5 of Jason's distance.


\texttt{Distance ran by Sara = }(4)/(5)* (5)/(7)s=(4)/(7)s


\texttt{Fraction of total distance around the track did Sara run = }(4)/(7)
