Each lap around Steven's block is seven eighths of a mile. If Steven ran six
laps last week, and five and a half laps this week, how many miles has he
run? (Round to two decimal digits)

Respuesta :

Answer:

10.06 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Each lap around Steven's block is [tex]\frac{7}{8} = 0.875[/tex] miles.

If Steven ran six laps last week and five and a half laps this week, then the total number of laps that Steven ran is = [tex](6 + 5\frac{1}{2}) = (6 + 5.5) = 11.5[/tex] laps.

Therefore, the number of miles that he ran will be (11.5 × 0.875) = 10.0625 miles ≈ 10.06 miles (Round to two decimal digits) (Answer)
