Question

Miguel ran 2 9 10 miles on Monday. On Friday, Miguel ran 5 times as far as he did on Monday. How much farther did Miguel run on Friday than he did on Monday? Miguel ran miles farther on Friday

Answer 1

`11(3)/(5)$ miles`

Explanation:

Miguel ran
`2(9)/(10)` miles on Monday.

On Friday, he ran 5 times as far as he did on Monday.

Miles run on Friday

`=5 X 2(9)/(10)`

`=5 X (29)/(10)\\=(29)/(2)$ miles`

Difference in Number of Miles Run

`=(29)/(2)-(29)/(10)\\=(145-29)/(10)\\=(116)/(10)\\=11(3)/(5)$ miles`

Therefore, Miguel ran
`11(3)/(5)$ miles` farther on Friday.
