Question

Jessica ran 7/8 of a mile.sheila ran 1 1/3 times as far as jessica how far did shelia run

Answer 1

1 1/6

Explanation:

Since we want to find how far Sheila ran, we have to multiply.

`(7)/(8)*(4)/(3)`

We can cross-simplify the 4 and 8, so now we have this:

`(7)/(2)*(1)/(3)`

And when we multiply we get 7/6.

When turned into a proper fraction, we get 1 1/6
