Answer 1

`0.75*0.8= (75)/(100) * (8)/(10) = (75*8)/(100*10) = (600)/(1000) = (6)/(10)=0.6`

Answer 2

0.6 miles

Explanation:

We are given that the distance around the lake is 0.75 miles

Derek ran on Monday=0.8 of the distance

We have to find that how far Derek run

0.8 of the distance=
`0.8* 0.75`

0.8 of the distance=0.6 miles

Derek ran on Monday=0.6 miles

Hence, Derek run on Monday=0.6 miles
