Question

You run 9 3/5 miles as part of an exercise routine. You run 1/4 of that distance on a hill. You run down a slope for the last 3/8 of the hill. On how many miles of your run do you run down the slope.

Answer 1

Answer:

Distance run down the slope $\frac{9}{10}miles$

Step-by-step explanation:

We have given that total distance which is part of exercise routine $9\frac{3}{5}miles=\frac{48}{5}miles$

It is given that $\frac{1}{4}$ of the distance is run on the hill

So distance run on the hill $\frac{1}{4}\times \frac{48}{5}=\frac{12}{5}miles$

Now it is given that he run down a slope for $\frac{3}{8}$ of the hill

So distance run down the slope = $\frac{3}{8}\times \frac{12}{5}=\frac{9}{10}miles$
