Question

Issac runs 16 1/4 miles each week. He runs 6 3/8 miles on Sunday and 4 2/5 miles on Tuesday. How many miles does he run on Thursday if it is the only other day that he runs that week?

Answer 1

5.225 miles on thursday or 209/40

Explanation:

if we make it into decimals he runs 16.25 miles every week. on sunday he runs 6.375 miles and on tuesday it is 4.4. we are going to add what he’s run so far so

6.375 + 4.4 = 10.775 and then we will subtract that from 16.25 to get 5.225 left for thursday
