Hi there!

For this problem, pretty much add all of them and then subtract with 22 to find how much Jen ran on Friday.

Monday+Tuesday+Wednesday+Thursday:

Simplify all terms and find all common denominators:

Common denominator: 8

4 (3)/(4) = 4 (6)/(8)

5 (1)/(8) = 5 (1)/(8)

6 (1)/(4) = 6 (2)/(8)

Combine all terms:

4 (6)/(8) + 5 (1)/(8) + 6 (2)/(8) = 15 (9)/(8)

Simplify 15 9/8 or else can’t subtract with 22.

9/8 = 1 (1)/(8)

15 + 1 (1)/(8) = 16 (1)/(8)

Turn 22 into 21 8/8...

Subtract: 21 8/8 with 16 1/8

21 (1)/(8) - 16 (1)/(8) = 5 (7)/(8)

This means that 5 7/8 is how much mile Jen must run on Friday to reach her goal.
