On Friday, Delilah ran 3 6/10 miles.On Saturday, she ran 4.2 miles. On Sunday she ran 1.5 times as far as Friday and Saturday combined. How far did she run on Sunday?
PLEASE HELP!!!
Is it
3.6 + 4.2
Added these are 7.8
Mulitply by 1.5 to get. 11.7
Could be wrong but thats what i think
I checked with teacher, its wrong.
Only 1 out of 96 students got it correct!
So hard, good try, though
Yes, 11.7 miles on Sunday
I got the same answer.
What does your teacher say is the right answer.
It was a test, computer checked it, computer said it was wrong
The teacher does not explain it.
She wants us to do it by ourselves
Baloney! The computer was wrong. Your "teacher" is not a real teacher if s/he does not explain it.
I've seen many wrong computer answers on Jiskha.
Also if only 1 out of 96 gets a problem correct, there is something wrong with the problem.
I agree 100% with Ms Sue
the correct answer to the question as stated is 11.7
doesn't matter what the computer or your teacher says
This is a fake school if the teacher won't explain.
d = 1.5(3.6+4.2) = 11.7 miles.
Do your teacher know how to solve the problem?
Can she get the opinion of another math teacher at the school?
