Given:
Alexandra Ran 2 7/10 Miles on Monday
She ran twice on Tuesday.
Determine how far did Alexandra run in two days.
Solution:
In order to determine how far did Alexandra ran in two days, we convert first the given mixed number into decimal.
= 2 7/10 miles
= 2 + (0.7) miles
Distance on Monday= 2.7 miles
Distance on Tuesday = Distance on Monday (2)
Distance on Tuesday = (2.7)(2)
Distance on Tuesday = 5.4 miles
Add the two distances together to determine the total distance.
Total Distance = Distance on Monday + Distance on Tuesday
Total Distance = 2.7 miles + 5.4 miles
Total Distance = 8.1 miles
Final answer:
Alexandra ran a total of 8.1 miles.
