Question

In an endurance race, Rachel ran

Answer 1

Answer:

$31\frac{1}{5}\ miles$

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The speed is equal to divide the distance by the time

so

The distance is equal to multiply the speed by the time

we have

$speed=9\frac{3}{5}\ \frac{miles}{hour}$

$time=3\frac{1}{4}\ hours$

$distance=(9\frac{3}{5})(3\frac{1}{4})$

Convert mixed number to an improper fraction

$9\frac{3}{5}=9+\frac{3}{5}=\frac{9*5+3}{5}=\frac{48}{5}$

$3\frac{1}{4}=3+\frac{1}{4}=\frac{3*4+1}{4}=\frac{13}{4}$

substitute

$distance=(\frac{48}{5})(\frac{13}{4})=\frac{624}{20}=31,2\ miles$

Convert to mixed number

$31.2\ mi=31+0.2=31+\frac{1}{5}=31\frac{1}{5}\ miles$
