Question

Sam aims to run a total of 18 miles in 5 weeks. He ran 2 ¾ miles in the first week, 3 ½ miles in the second week, 5 ⅓ miles in week three, and 2 ⅘ miles in week four. How many more miles would he need to complete to reach his target?

Answer 1

Answer:

$\frac{37}{60}$ or 0.62 of a mile that he will need to complete to reach his target.

Step-by-step explanation:

$2 \frac{3}{4} + 3 \frac{1}{2} + 5 \frac{1}{3} + 2 \frac{4}{5} = \frac{863}{60} \\18-\frac{863}{60} = \frac{37}{60}/ 0.62$
