Hello,

In this problem you have to multiply. Since, Marko runs 3/5 miles 3 times each week you will multiply
(3)/(5) * 3. Whenever you have a whole number times a fraction you add the 1 as a denominator for the whole number. So now you are doing
(3)/(5) *
(3)/(1) multiply the numerators and denominators, 3*3=9 and 5*1=5 your final fraction will be
(9)/(5) now change it to a mixed number and your answer will be 1
(4)/(5). So, Marko runs 1
(4)/(5) each week.

Have A Good Day.
