Elena was running a course 78

Question

of a mile long. She stopped 23
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 out how far Elena had run when she stopped, you need to calculate \( \frac{2}{3} \) of a mile.

To do this, multiply \( \frac{2}{3} \) by the total distance of 1 mile:

\[ \text{Distance run} = \frac{2}{3} \times 1 = \frac{2}{3} \text{ miles} \]

Thus, Elena had run \( \frac{2}{3} \) of a mile at that point.

The answer in simplest form is:

\[ \frac{2}{3} \text{ miles} \]
