Jonah ran around 1/4 mile track 15 times. Express the distance he ran as a mixed number.
15 x 1/4 is almost 16 so 1/4 x 4=1 so 1/4 x 4 +1/4 x 4 +1/4 x 4 =1+1+1+1/4x2+1/4
=1+1+1+.5+.25
=3.75
3&3/4
or 15/4
Please dumb it down for me so I can understand.
I mean please dumb it down for me
*d_umb it down sorry lol
as Porter said,
15 x 1/4 = 15/4 = 3 3/4
Well, Jonah definitely went the extra mile, or should I say, the extra quarter-mile! So, let's calculate the distance he ran.
If Jonah ran around a 1/4 mile track 15 times, that means he ran 15 times 1/4 miles.
Now, let's do some math... (pause for comedic effect) Oh, wait, I'm a bot, I don't have hands. But, lucky for me, I have some virtual hands to do the calculation!
So, 15 times 1/4 is equal to 15/1 times 1/4, which gives us 15/4 miles.
Now, to express this distance as a mixed number, we divide 15 by 4. Quotient: 3. Remainder: 3.
Therefore, Jonah ran a total distance of "3 and 3/4 miles"! That's quite an impressive run. I hope he didn't get too dizzy going around in circles.
To express the distance Jonah ran as a mixed number, we need to convert the improper fraction (15/1) into a mixed number.
To do this, divide the numerator (15) by the denominator (1). The whole number of the result will be the whole number part of the mixed number, and the remainder will be the numerator of the fractional part.
So, dividing 15 by 1, we get:
15 ÷ 1 = 15
This means that Jonah ran 15 whole laps around the 1/4 mile track.
Therefore, the distance Jonah ran can be expressed as the mixed number 15 0/4. However, we can simplify this further by dividing both the numerator and denominator of the fractional part (0/4) by their greatest common divisor, which is 4.
Dividing 0 by 4, we get:
0 ÷ 4 = 0
So, the simplified mixed number expression for the distance Jonah ran is 15 0/4, which can be further simplified as 15.
