Given length of a lap = 5/8 mile.
Number of laps Carin ran = 3 1/2 laps.
3 1/2 can be read as 3 and a half. In improper fractions, it can be written as
(3*2+1)/2 = 7/2 laps.
In order to find the total distance covered in 3 1/2 or 7/2 laps, we need to multiply length of a lap by total number of laps ran.
Therefore, total distance covered = 7/2 × 5/8.
=
Multiplying across, we get
= 
=
Let us convert 35/16 into mixed fractions.
On dividing 35 by 16, we get 2 quotient and 3 remainder.
So, the mixed fraction would be 2 3/16.
Therefore, she ran 2 3/16 miles in 3 1/2 laps.
Answer:
a) 1/36in.
b) 1/54in
Step-by-step explanation:
a) convert feet to inches:
L = 18ft = 216in
if length in image is 6in then 216in/6in. 36in is Scale.
width of original room = 108in.
check: 216*1/36 = 6
b) L = 18ft = 216in
216in/4in = 54in.
check: 216*1/54 = 4
Answer:
11/8 or 1 3/8 or 1.375
Step-by-step explanation:
From the information given by the question, we can form an equation:
Let us call the number 'n'
8 × n - 7 = 4
We then move the 7 to the other side, changing it from minus to plus:
8 × n = 4 + 7
So,
8 × n = 11
We divide both sides by 8, to leave n on one side of the equation.
n = 11/8
Therefore, n = 11/8 or 1 3/8 or 1.375
