Paul swam 7 5/8 miles. His sister swam five times as many miles. How many miles did Paul's sister swim?

Answer 1

Distance cover by Paul's sister by swim = 38.125 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Distance cover by Paul by swim =

Distance cover by Paul's sister by swim = 5 times Distance cover by Paul

Find:

Distance cover by Paul's sister by swim

Computation:

Distance cover by Paul's sister by swim = 5 times Distance cover by Paul

Distance cover by Paul's sister by swim = 5 x [61 / 8 miles]

Distance cover by Paul's sister by swim = 305 / 8 miles

Distance cover by Paul's sister by swim = 38.125 miles
