Question

Marcus is running around a track that is 3/8 of a mile long. If he runs around the track 4 1/2 times, how many miles will he have completed?

This is my last question for today....

Answer 1

1 and 11/16 miles

Explanation:

running around once is 3/8 miles, 4 1/2 is the same as 9/2

9/2 * 3/8 = (9*3)/(2*8) = 27/16, or 1 and 11/16

Answer 2

1 11/16

Explanation:

Convert any mixed numbers to fractions. Then your initial equation becomes 3/8x9/2=27/16=Simplifying 27/16, the answer is 1 11/16.
