Question

Trina ran 2 1/2 miles of Friday, 2 3/4 miles on Saturday and 3 mies on SUnday. The next week she ran the same amount. How far in miles did she run in two weeks?

Answer 1

Answer:

16 $\frac{1}{2}$ miles

Step-by-step explanation:

2 $\frac{2}{4}$ + 2 $\frac{3}{4}$ = 4 $\frac{5}{4}$ which equals 4 + 1 $\frac{1}{4}$ or 5 $\frac{1}{4}$

5 $\frac{1}{4}$ + 3 = 8 $\frac{1}{4}$

she ran 8 and one-quarter miles in the first week and if she ran the same amount the second week then we can add to get the answer:

8 $\frac{1}{4}$ +  8 $\frac{1}{4}$ = 16 $\frac{2}{4}$ or 16 $\frac{1}{2}$
