Question

There is a relay race with 4 runners. The total distance run in the relay race is m

miles. Write an expression to show how far each person runs in the relay race.

Answer 1

In a relay race with 4 runners covering a total distance of m miles, each runner will cover an equal share of the distance, specifically m ÷ 4 miles.

Step-by-step explanation:

If there is a relay race with 4 runners and the total distance run is m miles, we want to find the distance each person runs. Since the total distance is divided equally among the 4 runners, we can express the distance each runner will run as:

The distance each runner runs = Total distance ÷ Number of runners

The distance each runner runs = m ÷ 4

This expression shows that each runner will run a quarter of the total distance m.

Answer 2

4m=how far they run in the relay race
