Question

A two-person relay race consists of eight times around a football field. Juan runs four and one-sixth times and Antonio runs three and two-thirds times around the field. What are the distances they ran as improper fractions? A. Juan: 25⁄6 ; Antonio: 11⁄3 B. Juan: 32⁄3 ; Antonio: 41⁄6 C. Juan: 41⁄6 ; Antonio: 32⁄3 D. Juan: 11⁄3 ; Antonio: 25⁄6

Answer 1

Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

To convert mixed number as improper fractions, use this rule:

$A\frac{B}C}=\frac{(A*C)+B}{C}$

For Juan:  ($4\frac{1}{6}$)

$4\frac{1}{6}=\frac{(4*6)+1}{6}=\frac{25}{6}$

For Antonio:  ($3\frac{2}{3}$)

$3\frac{2}{3}=\frac{(3*3)+2}{3}=\frac{11}{3}$

Answer choice A is correct.
