Question

A two-person relay race consists of eight times around a football field. Juan runs four and one-sixth times and Antonio runs three and two-thirds times around the field. What are the distances they ran as improper fractions? A. Juan: 25⁄6 ; Antonio: 11⁄3 B. Juan: 32⁄3 ; Antonio: 41⁄6 C. Juan: 41⁄6 ; Antonio: 32⁄3 D. Juan: 11⁄3 ; Antonio: 25⁄6

Answer 1

A

Explanation:

To convert mixed number as improper fractions, use this rule:

`A\frac{B}C}=((A*C)+B)/(C)`

For Juan: (
`4(1)/(6)`)

`4(1)/(6)=((4*6)+1)/(6)=(25)/(6)`

For Antonio: (
`3(2)/(3)`)

`3(2)/(3)=((3*3)+2)/(3)=(11)/(3)`

Answer choice A is correct.
