teams of four are competing in a quarter mile relay. each runner must run the same exact distance. what is the distance each teammate runs?

Sagot :


A quarter is 1/4, and each runner runs 1/4 of that distance, so multiply the two numbers together to find the distance run by each runner: 1/16 of a mile, or 0.0625 miles.

Each teammate runs 1/16 miles.

Further Explanation

Given:

  • There are four people in a team
  • The running distance  is 1/4 mile
  • Each runner must run the exact distance

Question:

what is the distance each teammate runs?

Each person will run =        the total distance              

                                      number of person in a team

[tex]\boxed {= \frac{1}{4} : 4 }[/tex]

we can write that equation in multiplication form as follow:

[tex]\boxed {= \frac{1}{4} \times\frac{1}{4} = \frac{1}{16} }[/tex]

So, each person in the team will run [tex]\boxed {\frac{1}{16} }[/tex] miles
