Answer 1

i cant find the right answersssss

Explanation:

Answer 2

Each member ran (1/12) of a mile.

Explanation:

We have 10 members of Balin's soccer team.

Each one of them ran a distance D.

We know that their combined distance was 5/6 of a mile.

And if each one of them ran the same distance D, then the combined distance is ten times D, or :

10*D

and this is equal to 5/6 of a mile, then we get the equation:

10*D = (5/6) of a mile.

We want to solve this for D, so we can divide both sides by 10:

10*D/10 = (5/6)/10 of a mile.

D = (5/10*6) of a mile

D = (5/10)/6 of a mile

D = (1/2)/6 of a mile

D = (1/2*6) of a mile

D = (1/12) of a mile.

This means that each member ran (1/12) of a mile.
