Alex and Troy went for a run. Alex ran 4 2/3 miles, which was at most 8/9 the distance Troy ran. How far did Troy run.

Answer 1

4 2/3 = 14/3 miles

14/3 divided by 8/9= (14/3)(9/8) = 7(3)/4= 21/4 = 5 1/4 or at most 5.25 miles for Troy

Troy ran less than or equal to 5 1/4 miles

T < 5 1/4 miles

A = 4 2/3 miles
