Question

Jon ran around a track that was 1/8 of mile long. He ran around the track 24 times. how many miles did Jon run in all?

Answer 1

Jon ran 3 miles around the track.

Answer 2

If the track is one eight of a mile long this means he would have to run around 8 times in order to run one mile. And since he ran around 24 times we can say that he has run 3
miles. This means:

24/8=3 total distance

Hope this helps :)
