Leroy ran a total of 15 miles last month. He ran 5/8 mile each day. How many days did he run?
15/(5/8) = 15 * (8/5) = 120/5 = 24 days
Thanks love this website it really helpful
To find out how many days Leroy ran, we need to divide the total distance he ran by the distance he ran each day.
Step 1: Divide the total distance by the distance per day.
15 miles ÷ (5/8 mile per day)
Step 2: To divide by a fraction, we need to multiply by its reciprocal.
15 miles × (8/5) miles per day
Step 3: Multiply the numerators and denominators.
(15 × 8) miles ÷ (5 × 1) miles per day
Step 4: Multiply the values in the numerator and denominator separately.
120 miles ÷ 5 miles per day
Step 5: Divide the numerator by the denominator.
120 ÷ 5 = 24
Leroy ran for a total of 24 days last month.
