Amy ran 3 1/4 miles over 4 days , if she ran the same amount each day how far did she run in 1 day

Answer 1

To find out how far Amy ran each day, divide the total distance she ran by the number of days.

The total distance is \(3 \frac{1}{4}\) miles, which can be converted to an improper fraction:

\[ 3 \frac{1}{4} = \frac{13}{4} \text{ miles} \]

Now, divide this by 4 (the number of days):

\[ \text{Distance per day} = \frac{\frac{13}{4}}{4} = \frac{13}{4} \times \frac{1}{4} = \frac{13}{16} \text{ miles} \]

So, Amy ran \(\frac{13}{16}\) miles each day.
