Question

A relay race is 1 3 4 miles long. Each relay team has 4 runners. If each runner runs the same distance in the race, how far will each runner run? Choose the correct answer.

Answer 1

Answer: 7/16

Step-by-step explanation:

Distance of the relay race = 1 3/4 miles

Number of runners for the relay team = 4 runners

Distance to be run by each runner will be:

= Distance of the relay race / Number of runners

= 1 3/4 ÷ 4

= 7/4 ÷ 4

= 7/4 × 1/4

= 7/16

Each runner will run 7/16 miles
