The distance around the outside of Cedar Park is 0.8 mile. Joanie ran 0.25 of the distance during her lunch break. How far did she run?

She ran 0.2 miles. You multiply the 0.8 by 0.25 (because you want to find 1/4 of the total) to get 0.2.

Answer: 0.2

Explanation:

To calculate the distance that Joanie run during her lunch break is necessary to multiply the total distance around the outside of Cedar Park (0,8) by the 1/4 of the total distance that she ran (0,25).

So, the expression is:

0,25 . 0.8 = 0,2

Joanie run 0,2 miles during her lunch break.
