Val walks 2 3/5 miles each day. Bill runs 10 miles once every four days. In 4 days who covers more distance?
2.6 * 4 = ?
Val runs father in 4 days because 2 3/5 times 4 will give you 10.4 so the answer is val runs father in 4 days.
If I do my model and add them I get 4?!
To find out who covers more distance in 4 days, we need to calculate the total distance covered by each person in that time period.
First, let's calculate the total distance covered by Val in 4 days. Since Val walks 2 3/5 miles each day, we can multiply this distance by 4:
2 3/5 miles/day * 4 days = (2 + 3/5) * 4 = (2/1 + 3/5) * 4 = (10/5 + 3/5) * 4 = (13/5) * 4 = 52/5
Therefore, Val covers a total distance of 52/5 miles in 4 days.
Next, let's calculate the total distance covered by Bill in 4 days. Bill runs 10 miles once every four days, so we can simply take his distance of 10 miles and multiply it by the number of times he runs in 4 days:
10 miles/4 days * 4 = 10 miles
Therefore, Bill covers a total distance of 10 miles in 4 days.
Now we can compare the distances covered: Val covers 52/5 miles while Bill covers 10 miles. To make the comparison easier, we can convert 52/5 into a decimal:
52/5 = 10.4
Comparing the distances, we can see that Val covers a greater distance than Bill in 4 days.
