Answer:

1 1/8 of a mile.

Explanation:

The distance around the track is one quarter of a mile. Therefore, if you run around the track 4 times, you will have ran 1 mile, as 4 * 1/4 = 1. You would also run the other 1/2 of the lap, and to find that distance, you would multiply 1/2 * 1/4, because you only ran 1/2 of a lap and not one whole lap, which would come out to 1/8 of a mile. So, your final answer would be 1 + 1/8 of a mile, which comes out to 1 and 1/8 of a mile.
