Question

A student athlete runs 3 1/3 miles in 30 minutes. A professional runner can run 1 1/4 times as far in 30 minutes. How far can the professional runner run in 30 minutes?

Answer 1

4 1/6

Explanation:

10/3 x 5/4 = 25/6 which is simplified as 4 1/6

Answer 2

`(3+\frac{1}3)*(1+\frac{1}4)=\frac{10}3*\frac{5}4=\frac{25}6=4\frac{1}6`

The professional can run 4 1/6 miles in 30 minutes.
