Answer 1

Dennis skated 35/4 of track in two minutes.

35/4 = 8 3/4

Explanation:

Given that;

Daniel skated 2 1/2 of the way around the track in two minutes

Daniel = 2 1/2 = 5/2 of track

her younger brother skated 3 1/2 of Daniels distance in two minutes

Dennis = 3 1/2 of Daniel's = 3 1/2 of 5/2

Dennis = 3 1/2 × 5/2 = 7/2 × 5/2

Dennis = 35/4 = 8 3/4

Therefore, Dennis skated 35/4 of track in two minutes.
