Answered by Dee
Where did the 7 come from? It doesn't say in a week, it just says, each day . hmmmm
Answered by Ms. Sue
1 3/4 = 4/4 + 3/4 = 7/4

28/4? Divide the numerator by the denominator.
Answered by Dee
So the answer is 7 ?
Answered by Ms. Sue
Yes. Your friend runs 7 miles a day.

How about if I run 5/8 of a mile each morning how far will I run in five days? Would the answer be 25/8 of a mile? 5x5=25
Answered by Ms. Sue
Yes, you'd run 25/8 = 3 1/8 mile
