Question

In a 3/4 mile relay race, each runner runs 1/16 mile. How many runners are in the race?

Answer 1

they will total cover 3/4

1/16 times x runners=3/4
times both sides by 16/1
x runners=48/4
x runners=12

12 runners

Answer 2

Twelve runners because if you take three-fourths times four you will get twelve-sixteenths. and each runner runs one-sixteenth so it is twelve.
