Question

Four friends are running in a 2-mile race at the park. Each runner has a lane marker to lead them to the finish line. The fractions tell how much of the 2-mile distance they have run until now. Anna – 1/3, Christen – 1 1/8, Ben – 1 1/3, Mary – 7/8.
What is the runner winning now?

Answer 1

Answer:

I dont understand the question much but let's see if what I think is right is right. Christen is winning bc he has a mixed number, so he had the fraction and a whole number, which is more than the rest of them. I dont understand the what is the runner winning now, but maybe it means how much more does he have to run until 2 miles. I got 1 7/8

Step-by-step explanation:

if christen ran 1 1/8, subtract 2 miles from the 1 mile he ran, (the first 1 in 1 1/8) so that gives you 1 mile left to run. if he already ran 1 1/8, add 7 to the 1/8 to make it 8/8, or 1. 1+1=2.

2-1=1. 1/8+7/8=8/8=1. 1+1=2 miles. idk if this is right or not.
