Jason ran 5/7 of the distance around the school track. Sara ran 4/5 of Jason's distance. What fraction of total distance around the track did Sara run?

Respuesta :

5/7 * 4/5 = Sara's distance around the track
20/35 = 4/7

Answer:

[tex]\texttt{Fraction of total distance around the track did Sara run = }\frac{4}{7}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the school track's length be s.

Jason ran 5/7 of the distance around the school track.

[tex]\texttt{Distance ran by Jason = }\frac{5}{7}s[/tex]

Sara ran 4/5 of Jason's distance.

[tex]\texttt{Distance ran by Sara = }\frac{4}{5}\times \frac{5}{7}s=\frac{4}{7}s[/tex]

[tex]\texttt{Fraction of total distance around the track did Sara run = }\frac{4}{7}[/tex]
