Question

The first team member ran in a 3person relay race must run 2 1/4 laps the second member must run 1 1/2 laps the third member must run 3 5/8 laps maw many laps must eatch team run

Answer 1

Answer:

So the total number of laps run = $7\frac{3}{8}$

Step-by-step explanation:

The first team member in a 3 person team has to run $2\frac{1}{4}$ laps, the second person has to run $1\frac{1}{2}$ and the third person has to run $3\frac{5}{8}$ laps.

We have to find total number of laps run by each team.

Total number of laps = $2\frac{1}{4}+1\frac{1}{2} +3\frac{5}{8}$

                                   = $\frac{18}{8}+\frac{12}{8}+\frac{29}{8}$

                                   = $\frac{59}{8}$

                                   = $7\frac{3}{8}$

So the total number of laps run = $7\frac{3}{8}$
