Question

Heip Kirby plan some tuture weekly runs. How many miles could he run on Tuesdays anThursdays so that he runs 7 5/8 miles each week? List at least three possibilities below

Answer 1

Since Kirbe wants to run 7 5/8 miles in two days each week, we have to divide this quantity by 2. First lets convert it to an improper fraction:

`7(5)/(8)=(7\cdot8+5)/(8)=(56+5)/(8)=(61)/(8)`

dividing 61/8 by 2 we get:

`((61)/(8))/(2)=(61)/(8\cdot2)=(61)/(16)=3(13)/(16)`

therefore, Kirby must run 3 13/16 miles on Tuesdays and Thursday so we runs 7 5/8 miles ech week
