Question

Elena was running a course 7/8 of a mile long. She stopped 2/3 of the way through to drink some water. How far had she run at that point? Write the answer in simplest form.(1 point)

Answer 1

To find how far Elena had run at that point, we can multiply the length of the course (7/8 mile) by the fraction of the course she had completed before stopping (2/3).

7/8 mile * 2/3 = (7*2)/(8*3) = 14/24 = 7/12

Therefore, Elena had run 7/12 of a mile at that point.
