elena was running a course 7\8 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 the simplest form

Answer 1

To find the distance Elena had run when she stopped, we need to calculate 2/3 of 7/8 mile.

First, multiply the numerators: 2 × 7 = 14.
Then, multiply the denominators: 3 × 8 = 24.

So, Elena had run a distance of 14/24 mile when she stopped.

To simplify this fraction, we can divide both the numerator and denominator by their greatest common divisor, which is 2.

Dividing 14 by 2 equals 7, and dividing 24 by 2 equals 12.

Therefore, Elena had run a distance of 7/12 mile when she stopped.
