Monique runs one fourth mondays one half on Tuesday three fourth on wednesday and one mile on Thursday how much does she increase her running time?
one-fourth mile?
Jackie has $20 to spent in her sisters present.She spent one fourth on colored pencils,then two fourths of what is left on a necklace.how much is spent on the necklace
To calculate the increase in Monique's running time, we need to add up the distances she runs on each day and then compare it to her original running time.
1. Convert the fractions to decimals:
- One fourth is equivalent to 1/4 = 0.25
- One half is equivalent to 1/2 = 0.5
- Three fourth is equivalent to 3/4 = 0.75
2. Determine Monique's original running time on each day:
- Monday: 0.25 miles
- Tuesday: 0.5 miles
- Wednesday: 0.75 miles
- Thursday: 1 mile
3. Calculate the total distance covered by Monique during the week:
Total distance = 0.25 + 0.5 + 0.75 + 1 = 2.5 miles
4. Compare the total distance to Monique's original running time:
- If Monique originally ran 2 miles, the increase would be 2.5 - 2 = 0.5 miles.
- If Monique originally ran 3 miles, the increase would be 2.5 - 3 = -0.5 miles (meaning she decreased her running time).
Therefore, without the original running time provided, we cannot definitively determine how much Monique increased her running time.
