if hallie ran 1.2 miles on the school track and that is 5/8nof the distance of the track how long is the track?

5/8n = 1.2

n = 1.2 / 0.625

n = 1.92 miles

To find the length of the track, we can set up a proportion using the given information. Let's denote the length of the track as 'x' miles.

According to the given information, Hallie ran 1.2 miles, which is 5/8 of the total track distance:

1.2 miles = (5/8) * x miles

To solve for 'x', we can cross multiply and then solve for 'x':

1.2 * 8 = 5 * x

9.6 = 5x

Divide both sides of the equation by 5:

9.6/5 = x

x ≈ 1.92 miles

Therefore, the length of the track is approximately 1.92 miles.
