Question

A relay race is 3 miles long. Each person on the relay team runs 1/4of a mile. How many people on the team?

Answer 1

To find the number of people on the team, we have to solve the following expression

$\frac{1}{4}x=3$

Where x represents people.

$\begin{gathered} x=3\cdot4 \\ x=12 \end{gathered}$

There are 12 people on the team.

Where each interval represents 1/4 of a mile that each person runs.
