Final answer:

Janelle has run 3/5 of a mile on the track, which is calculated by multiplying 3/4 (length of the track) by 4/5 (portion of the track run).

Step-by-step explanation:

Janelle is running on a track that is 3/4 of a mile long. She has run 4/5 of the way around the whole track. To find out how far she has run, we need to multiply these two fractions together:


  • (3/4) mile × (4/5) = (3×4)/(4×5) = 12/20

When we simplify 12/20, we get:

  • 12/20 = 6/10 = 3/5 mile

Therefore, Janelle has run 3/5 of a mile.
