Question

Zack ran t times around the track at school, which is 1/4 mile. He ran a total of 11/12 of mile. Solve for t.

Answer 1

If Zack ran around the track one time he would have run 1/4 mile.
If he ran around the track "t" times, he would have run 1/4 * t miles.

1/4 * t = 11/12
solve for t.

Answer 2

What we know:
1time around the track = 1/4 mile
So
\[t \times\frac{ 1 }{ 4 }=\frac{ 11 }{ 12 }\]
\[t=\frac{ 11 }{ 12 } \times \frac{ 1 }{ 4 }\]

\[t = \frac{ 44 }{ 12 }\]
\[t=\frac{ 11 }{ 3 }= 3 \frac{ 2 }{ 3 }\]

Answer 3

:o

Answer 4

therefore;
\[ \large t \ equals\ 3 \frac{ 2 }{ 3}\]

Answer 5

is it possible to give 2 medals?

Answer 6

Thanks!

Answer 7

On the second line, it should be t = 11/12 * 4 (not 11/12 * 1/4).
But the final answer is correct.

You are welcome. Give the medal to tima.

Answer 8

You're right my mistake.
