Ryann planned on swimming 14 miles. Instead, he was only able to swim 1/4 of that distance. How many miles did Ryan swim?

Answer: Ryann swam 3.5 miles

Explanation:

In order to find the answer, we must divide 14 by 4 which equals 3.5. So therefore Ryann swam 3.5 miles.

Hey there,

Given the question it shows that Ryann swam 1/4 of 14 miles that he was supposed to swim.

In words of is another way to say 1/4 * 14...

  • 14/4

This expressed as a mixed number would be...

  • 3 and 2/4 or 3 1/2

Of the 14 miles that Ryann was supposed to swim he swam 3 1/2 miles.

Hope I helped,

Amna
