11? what's wrong with 10?

OpenStudy (tennis5518):

9 miles per week

OpenStudy (aye_my_peeps):

bc 9 times 11 is 99

OpenStudy (tennis5518):

it 9 i did this before!

OpenStudy (truwhovian11):

it was wrong T^T

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

well, you can think about it this way your mom drives her car, for 99 miles in 9 weeks, what's her speed per week?

OpenStudy (truwhovian11):

11

OpenStudy (tennis5518):

i said 9

OpenStudy (tennis5518):

what? how?

OpenStudy (aye_my_peeps):

so i was right?

OpenStudy (truwhovian11):

but it was 11 Write Laura's running rate as the following ratio in fraction form. Laura ran 99 miles in 9 weeks. To find how many miles she ran in 1 week, divide the numerator and the denominator by 9. So, Laura has been running at a rate of 11 miles per week.

OpenStudy (tennis5518):

That doesnt make sense i did this i got it right

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

\(\bf \cfrac{\cancel{99} miles}{\cancel{9} weeks}\implies \cfrac{11miles}{1weeks}\implies 11\frac{miles}{weeks}\)

OpenStudy (truwhovian11):

yeah its ok

OpenStudy (truwhovian11):
