Today lan wants to run less than 7/12 mile. Write a fraction witha denominator of 4 to respresent a distance that is less than7/12 mile.

2/4 mile could be taken to represent a distance that is less than 7/12 mile.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that Lan wants to run less than 7/12 miles.

We need to write a fraction that is less than 7/12 and has a denominator of 4.

Let us check that on dividing 12 by 3, we get 4.

And if we divide 7 by same number 3, we get 2 as quotient 2 and remainder 1.

So, we could take a fraction with numerator less than or equal to 2 and denominator as 4.

So, the fraction we could choose 2/4 which is less than 7/12.

Therefore, 2/4 mile could be taken to represent a distance that is less than 7/12 mile.
