bonnie runs 1 2/3 times as far as john each day if bonnie runs 5 miles on monday 3 1/2 miles on tuesday and 5 3/4 miles on wednesday how many miles did john run in all those three days

Respuesta :

Answer:

3 miles on Monday

2¹/₁₀ miles on Tuesday

3⁹/₂₀ miles on Wednesday

Step-by-step explanation:

We are told that Bonnie runs 1⅔ (⁵/₃) times as far as John each day

This means that John runs ³/₅ times as far as Bonnie.

MONDAY:

Bonnie runs 5 miles on Monday, therefore, John runs:

³/₅ * 5 = 3 miles

TUESDAY:

Bonnie runs 3½ (⁷/₂) miles on Tuesday, therefore, John runs:

³/₅ * ⁷/₂ = ²¹/₁₀ = 2¹/₁₀ miles

WEDNESDAY:

Bonnie runs 5³/₄ (²³/₄) miles on Wednesday, therefore, John runs:

³/₅ * ²³/₄ = ⁶⁹/₂₀ = 3⁹/₂₀ miles
