Answer 2

Answer:

26.6 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: A runner runs at 7.6 miles per hour.

To find: The number of miles he can run in $3\frac{1}{2}$ hours.

Solution: To find the number of miles he can run in $3\frac{1}{2}$ hours. We first need to simplify $3\frac{1}{2}$

So, we can write $3\frac{1}{2}$ as $\frac{7}{2}$

Now, the speed of runner is 7.6 miles per hour. So, we can say that the runner can cover a distance of 7.6 miles in 1 hour.

To find the number of miles he ran we need to multiply the distance cover by the runner in 1 hour by $\frac{7}{2}$

So, we have

$7.6\times\frac{7}{2}$

$=\frac{76}{10}\times\frac{7}{2}$

$=\frac{7\times38}{10}$

$\frac{266}{10}$

$=26.6$ miles

Hence, the runner can run 26.6 miles in $3\frac{1}{2}$ hour.
