Question

Ella and three friend run in a relay race that is 14 miles long.Each person run equal parts of the race. How many miles does each person run?

Answer 1

So, "Ella and three friends" means 4 people in total!

so that means that each of the 4 people run an equal part of 14miles. To find out each part, we have to divide the total distance (14) by the number of people (4):


$\frac{14}{4} =3 \frac{2}{4} =3\frac{1}{2}$

so each person run 3.5 miles!
