The jogging track is a mile long. If Ashley jogged around it 4 times, how far did she run?
Solution:
Length of the jogging track = 1 mile
Number of times Ashley jogged = 4 times
So the length Ashley ran = Length of the jogging track × Number of times Ashely jogged
By substituting the values
= 1 × 4
= 4 miles
Therefore, Ashley ran 4 miles.
The jogging track is a mile long. If Ashley jogged around it 4 times, how far did she run?
Summary:
The jogging track is a mile long. If Ashley jogged around it 4 times, she ran 4 miles.
Example - The jogging track is 5/9 miles long. If Ashley jogged around it 9 times, how far did she run?
Solution:
Length of the jogging track = 5/9 mile
Number of times Ashley jogged = 9 times
So the length Ashley ran = Length of the jogging track × Number of times Ashely jogged
By substituting the values
= 5/9 × 9
= 5 miles
Therefore, Ashley ran 5 miles.
Summary:
The jogging track is 5/9 mile long. If Ashley jogged around it 9 times, she ran 5 miles.
