Answer 1

Answer:

The number of miles Mark runs in each track be $16 \frac{43}{52}\ miles$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us assume that the number of miles Mark run in each track meet be x.

As given

Mark ran 875 miles this year in the track club.

Mark ran in 52 track meets and ran the same number of miles in each.

Than the equation becomes

52 × x = 875

$x = \frac{875}{52}$

$x = 16 \frac{43}{52}\ miles$

Therefore the number of miles Mark runs in each track be $16 \frac{43}{52}\ miles$
