Let’s put these into one fraction each:

Biking:
= (12*5)/8 miles
= 60/8 miles
This can be reduced to,
= 15/2 miles

Swimming:
= (5*2)/3 miles
= 10/3 miles

Running:
= (6*3)/8 miles
= 18/8 miles
This can be reduced to,
= 9/4

Now we add all the distances up:
= (15/2) + (10/3) + (9/4)

Now we just can add the numerators and the denominators. We must find the lowest common factor (LCF) for our 3 denominators (2,3,4). Our LCF turns out to be 12. *Remember what we do to the denominator we must do to the numerator. So:
= (15/2) + (10/3) + (9/4)
= [(15*6)/12] + [(10*4)/12] + [(9*3)/12]
= (90/12) + (40/12) + (27/12)
= (157/12)
Therefore Aaron Ran 157/12 miles or 13.08 miles.

Hope this helps!

Use multiplication to describe the relationship between the dividend, the divisor and the quotient. Then use that relationship t
Romashka [77]

In a division problem, ...

... dividend / divisor = quotient

Multiplying both sides of this equation by "divisor", we get ...

... dividend = quotient × divisor . . . . . . . . the desired relationship

The for dividend = 1/8, divisor = 6, and quotient = 1/48, this becomes ...

... 1/8 = 1/48 × 6

... 1/8 = 6/48 = 1/8 . . . . . the given values are consistent

Arada [10]

Answer:

ur right

it's -1013

bc you need to do multiplication first so the equation turns out to be

10 - 1000 - 23

so then that turns to -1013 if you calculate left to right
