Answer:
Each member ran (1/12) of a mile.
Step-by-step explanation:
We have 10 members of Balin's soccer team.
Each one of them ran a distance D.
We know that their combined distance was 5/6 of a mile.
And if each one of them ran the same distance D, then the combined distance is ten times D, or :
10*D
and this is equal to 5/6 of a mile, then we get the equation:
10*D = (5/6) of a mile.
We want to solve this for D, so we can divide both sides by 10:
10*D/10 = (5/6)/10 of a mile.
D = (5/10*6) of a mile
D = (5/10)/6 of a mile
D = (1/2)/6 of a mile
D = (1/2*6) of a mile
D = (1/12) of a mile.
This means that each member ran (1/12) of a mile.
