Question

Jonathan will run 6 1/4-mile relay with 4 other team members, each team member runs an equal distance. How many miles did Jonathan

Answer 1

By dividing the total relay distance of 6.25 miles by the 5 team members, we calculate that Jonathan will run 1.25 miles in the relay race.

Step-by-step explanation:

Jonathan is part of a team running a 6 1/4-mile relay race.

Since there are 4 other team members, including Jonathan, we divide the total distance by the number of runners to find out the distance each runner will complete.

The total distance is 6 1/4 miles which is the same as 6.25 miles when converted to decimal.

To find the distance each team member runs, we divide 6.25 miles by 5 (the number of team members):

6.25 miles ÷ 5 team members = 1.25 miles per team member.

Therefore, Jonathan will run 1.25 miles.
