Question

Camila's goal is to run 1 2/4 miles a day. She ran 4/6 of a mile in the morning. She says she still needs to run 1 1/6 miles in the afternoon to reach her daily goal. Which phrase explains why Camila's statement is not reasonable? 1. 2/4 is not a multiple of 1/6 2. 1/6 is less than half 3. 4/6 is more than half 4. 2 is less than 4

Answer 1

3.) 4/6 is more than half

Explanation:

Daily goal = 1 2/4 miles per day

Initial coverage for the day = 4/6 miles

Camila stated she still Needs to cover 1 1/6 miles

1 2/4 miles = 1 1/2 ( simplest form)

Subtracting the whole numbers :

1 1/2 - 1 = 1/2

Initial miles covered = 4/6 = 2/3 miles

2/3 > 1/2

If initial distance already covered is greater than 1/2, then the distance left to cover should be less Than 1 miles
