Question

Hannah and her friend are training to run in a 2-mile race. On Monday, Hannah ran ½ mile. On Tuesday, she ran ⅕ mile farther than she ran on Monday.

a. How far did Hannah run on Tuesday?
b. If her friend ran ¾ mile on Tuesday, how many miles did the girls run in all on Tuesday?

Answer 1

A: Hannah ran 0.7 miles on Tuesday

B: They ran 1.45 miles in total

Explanation:

If you put all the fractions into decimal form it would be;

1/2 = 0.5

1/5 = 0.2

3.4 = 0.75

So, you add all of the decimals together;

0.5 + 0.2 = 0.7

0.7 + 0.75 = 1.45
