Question

Tad runs one-half mile for every one-third mile that

Answer 1

Answer:

Tad ran 6 miles while Elaine ran 4 miles.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since Tad runs one-half mile for every one-third mile that Elaine runs, to determine, if together they run a total of 10 miles, how far does Tad run, the following calculation must be performed:

0.5 x 2 = 1

0.333 x 2 = 0.666

10 / 1.666 = X

6 = X

6 x 1 = 6

6 x 0.666 = 4

Therefore, Tad ran 6 miles while Elaine ran 4 miles.
