To find out how many miles the team runs altogether, you can multiply the distance each runner runs by the number of runners on the team.
Each runner runs \( \frac{5}{8} \) of a mile, and there are 3 runners.
So, the total distance run by the team is:
\[
3 \times \frac{5}{8} = \frac{15}{8} \text{ miles}
\]
To convert \( \frac{15}{8} \) into a mixed number:
\[
\frac{15}{8} = 1 \frac{7}{8} \text{ miles}
\]
Therefore, the team runs a total of \( 1 \frac{7}{8} \) miles.
