Four students are participating in a relay race that is 2 1/3 miles long. If each student runs that same distance how far does each student run?

Answer 1

Need to multiply 2 1/3 by 1/4 to find out how far each student ran.

First convert 2 1/3 to an improper fraction:

2 1/3 = 7/3

Then multiply by 1/4:

7/3 * 1/4 = 7/12 of a mile
