Answer:

2 7/5 or 2.5 times per day

Explanation:

Given Deonadre runs 17 1/2 times around the reservoir in one week .

The rate per day will be the times ran in one week divided by 7 since there are seven days in one week .

Therefore

17 1/2

First change it to an improper fraction . We have

35/2

Now

35/2 /7

35/2 x 1/7

Multiply through

35/14

2 7/5 or 2.5 times

Therefore , Deonadre runs

2 7/5 times per day
