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 figure out how far Elena had run at the point she stopped, we need to find the product of 7/8 and 2/3.

(7/8) * (2/3) = (7 * 2) / (8 * 3)
= 14/24.

In simplest form, this fraction is equal to 7/12.

Therefore, Elena had run 7/12 of a mile at the point she stopped.
