Question

The jogging track at Francine’s school is 3/4 mile long. Yesterday Francine completed two laps on the track. If she ran 1/3 of the distance and walked the remainder of the way, how far did she walk?

Answer 1

I dont know but mabye is 2/3

Answer 2

Answer:

1 mile

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: The jogging track at Francine’s school is $\frac{3}{4}$ $\text{mile}$ long. Yesterday Francine completed two laps on the track. If she ran $\frac{1}{3}$ of the distance and walked the remainder of the way.

To Find: how far did she walk

Solution:

Length of jogging track at Francine’s school $=\frac{3}{4}$ $\text{mile}$

Let the distance covered by running be $=\text{x}$

Let the distance covered by walking be $=\text{y}$

Total number of laps completed by Francine $=2$

Total distance covered by Francine  $=\text{number of laps}\times\text{distance covered in one lap}$

                                                       $2\times\frac{3}{4}$

                                                       $\frac{3}{2}\text{mile}$

Now,

distance covered by running $=\frac{1}{3}\text{of total distance}$

                                                $\text{x}=\frac{1}{3}\times\frac{3}{2}$

                                                $\text{x}=\frac{1}{2}$ $\text{mile}$

distance covered by walking $\text{y}$ $=\text{total distance}-\text{distance covered by running}$

                                                $\frac{3}{2}-\text{x}$

                                                 $\frac{3}{2}-\frac{1}{2}$

                                                 $1$ $\text{mile}$

Hence, Francine walked for $1$ $\text{mile}$
