Question

In a marathon, hamish had run a total distance of 11/12 mile. He ran 4/5 of the distance. How many miles did he run ?

Answer 1

If 11/12 mile is 4/5 of the total distance, he would run 11/12×5/4=55/48 miles.
If the total length of the run is 11/12 mile and Hamish runs 4/5 of this then he runs 4/5×11/12=11/15 mile.
