The team ran 2 miles.
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1; The track is
miles long and the team ran 2
laps on it. To calculate the distance run we multiply the number of laps ran with the distance on each lap.
Distance run = Number of laps × Distance on each lap.
Step 2; We convert 2
from a mixed fraction into an improper fraction. To do this, we multiply the whole number with the denominator of the fraction and add with it the numerator of the same fraction whereas the denominator remains unchanged. To convert the fraction 2
= ((2 × 3) + 2) / 3 =
.
Distance run = Number of laps × Distance on each lap =
×
=
= 2 miles.
Answer:
a = - 6
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
f(x) = 3x + 5 , then
f(a) = 3a + 5 and f(a) = - 13 , then equating the right sides
3a + 5 = - 13 ( subtract 5 from both sides )
3a = - 18 ( divide both sides by 3 )
a = - 6
1 yard = 3 feet, so we would do 3×84, which is 252.
There are 252 feet in 84 yards.
