“Marcelo ran 6,000 feet. Kaitlyn ran 1 and 1/4. Who ran farther and by how much?

Question

Hey guys i need some help please help me out with this math question I need to get better and I know some of you can help me right?

Answer 1

I assume that Kaitlyn ran 1 and 1/4 of a mile:

Kaitlyn ran:

1 1/4 of a mile

If 1 mile = 5280 feet, then:

Kaitlyn ran:

1 1/4 of 5280 feet

5/4 of 5280

26400 / 4 = 6600

Marcelo ran 6000 feet and Kaitlyn ran 6600 feet. So, Kaitlyn run farther.
