Question

Jonathan will run a 614-mile relay with 4 other team members, where each team member runs an equal distance. How many miles will Jonathan run?

Answer 1

Answer: Jonathan will rum
`1\frac14\text{ mile}` .

Explanation:

Given: Total distance to run =
`6\frac14` miles
`=(25)/(4)` miles

Total members = 1+4 = 5

if each member runs equal distance.

Then, each member will run =
`\frac{\text{Total distance}}{\text{Total members}}`

`=((25)/(4))/(5)\\\\ \lim_(n \to \infty) a_n =(25)/(4*5)\\\\=(5)/(4)\\\\ = 1\frac14 \text{miles}`

Hence, Jonathan will rum
`1\frac14\text{ mile}` .
