Kenny has to travel 3 and 7/8 miles. He plans to walk halfway and run halfway. How far will he run?

Question

How far will he run?

Answer 1

8half of the total will be half of 31/8 (after converting 3 & 7/8 miles to a=n improper fraction).

 

half of that is 31/16 miles, i.e. he has to run one and 15/16 miles.  In decimal, that's 1.9375 miles.
