If, while training for a marathon, you ran 68 miles in

2 2/3 months, how many miles did you run each month? (Assume you ran the same amount each month)

Write your answer as a whole number, proper fraction, or mixed number in simplest form.

25 1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

You need to divide 68 miles by 2 2/3 months.

68 / (2 2/3) =

= 68 / (8/3)

= 68 * 3/8

= 68/1 * 3/8

= 204/8

= 102/4

= 51/2

= 25 1/2

25½ mi/mo

Step-by-step explanation:

Distance = rate * time

d = rt Divide each side by t

r = d/t

dа ta:

d = 68 mi

t = 2⅔ mo

Calculation:

r = 68 / (2⅔) Convert denominator to improper fraction

= 68 / (⁸/₃) Invert the denominator and multiply

= ⁶⁸/₁ * ³/₈ Multiply the numerators and denominators

= ²⁰⁴/₈ Reduce to simplest terms

= ⁵¹/₂ Convert to mixed number

= 25½ mi/mo

On average, you ran 25½ miles each month.
