Question

.MARY WAS TOLD TO RUN AROUND THE TRACK 5 TIMES BY HER COACH. ONCE AROUND THE TRACK IS 5/6 OF A MILE. MARY WAS ONLY ABLE TO RUN AROUND THE TRACK 4 1/3 TIMES. HOW MANY MILES TOTAL DID MARY RUN?

Answer 1

Answer:

3.61 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Length of track = 5/6 of a mile

Number times Mary was able to run around the track = 4 1/3 times

Total miles ran by Mary :

(Equivalent mile of the track * number of times Mary ran around the track)

5/6 of a mile * 4 1/3 times

5/6 * 13/3

= 65 / 18

= 3.611111 miles

Hence, total Number of miles ran by Mary is 3.61 miles
