Connor ran around the 1/4-mile track 15 times! Express the distance he ran as a mixed number.
(1/4) * 15 = 15/4 = 3 3/4 miles
I think Ms. Sue is right. I can't do math that advanced.

To express the distance Connor ran as a mixed number, we need to divide the total distance by the number of laps.
In this case, we know that Connor ran around a 1/4 mile track 15 times.
To find the total distance, we multiply the length of one lap (1/4 mile) by the number of laps (15):
1/4 mile per lap * 15 laps = 15/4 mile
The resulting distance, 15/4 mile, is an improper fraction. To express it as a mixed number, we divide the numerator (15) by the denominator (4):
15 รท 4 = 3 remainder 3
So the distance Connor ran can be expressed as the mixed number: 3 and 3/4 mile.
