Question

Last week, Juliet ran 22 kilometers. ​ ​This week, she plans to run 2\frac{2}{5}2 5 2 ​ times as far as last week. ​ ​How many kilometers does Juliet plan to run this week?

Answer 1

Answer: 52.8 kilometers

Explanation:

This week she plans to run 2²/₅ times as much as last week.

If she ran 22 kilometers last week, then multiple 22 by 2²/₅ to find out the number of kilometers to run this week.

First convert the improper fraction to a proper one:

2²/₅ = 12/5

= 12/5 * 22

= 264/5

= 52.8 kilometers
