Jason: 5/7
Sara: 4/5

Think of it this way: if the total track is a mile, and Jason runs 5/7 of it,  he has run 5/7 of a mile. Then Sara runs 4/5 OF 5/7, with "of" meaning "times," so she runs 4/5 x 5/7, which gives you 20/35, which simplifies to 4/7. You can also think of Sara's distance as 80 percent of Jason's. If she runs "80 percent of the sevenths that Jason ran," that means she ran 4 out of his 5 sevenths.

In one hour, 17 cars drive through an intersection. Two-fifths of the 17 cars fail to come to a complete stop at the stop sign.
Rasek [7]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

When you have a number (17) and want to know some fraction (2/5) of that number, you should multiply the number by the fraction.

17 * (2/5)

= (17*2)/5

= 34/5

= 6.8

You can then round this number up --> about 7 cars.
