Question

Lucy is training for along distance race she ran 6/8 of a kilometer in the first week in the second week she tan 5/8 of a kilometer on the odd days and 7/8 of a kilometer on the even days how many kilometers did she run in those 2 weeks​

Answer 1

4 3/8 km

Explanation:

Lucy is training for a long-distance race.

On the first day, she runs 5/8 kilometers.

The total distance is 5/8 kilometers.

On the second day, she runs another 5/8 kilometers.

The total distance is 5/8+5/8 kilometers.

Now, what will be the distance she ran in a week?

We would end up adding each distance she ran every day. In this situation, the product of numbers is used.

If she ran every day, since 7 days are in a week, she ran .

5/8+5/8+5/8+5/8+5/8+5/8+5/8

If we show this using product of numbers, the total distance will be . Now, if we calculate the product, we get . In an improper fraction, the total distance will be 5/8x7 km

Now, if we calculate the product, we get 35/8 km In an improper fraction, the total distance will be 4 3/8

so she ran 4 3/8 km in the first week
