I am confused on how to solve this problem, can you help me?
It says the distance around the outside of Cedar park is 0.8mile. Joan ran 0.25 of the distance during her lunch break. How far did she run?
A. 0.2mile B. 0.25 mile
C.1.05 mile D. 2 miles
I did 0.80-0.25=0.55
so I figured that is what she had left so I know took the total 0.80-0.55 and got0.25 which is B.
My friend said the correct answer was A. but I don't see how to get that. Can you help?
Thanks
The distance around the outside of the cedar park is 0.8 mile joanie ran 0.25 of the distance during her lunch break how far did she run.
that's not nice im telling your parents
Your friend is right.
0.25 * 0.8 = 0.2 mile
You can also figure it in your head. 0.25 is 1/4. One fourth of 8 is 2.
thank you for explain it.
You're welcome.
You can buy 5 T shirts at Baxter's for the same price that you can buy 4 T shirts at Bixby's. If one T shirt costs $ 11.80 at Bixby's how much does one T shirt cost at Baxter's?
HELP
Sure, I can help you understand how to solve this problem.
The first step is to understand what is given in the problem. The problem states that the distance around the outside of Cedar park is 0.8 miles. It also says that Joan ran 0.25 of the distance during her lunch break.
To solve this problem, we need to find out how far Joan ran.
You correctly subtracted 0.25 from 0.8 to find out how much is left, which gives us 0.55 miles. However, this is the distance that is left around Cedar park, not the distance Joan ran.
To find out how far Joan ran, we need to subtract the distance that is left (0.55 miles) from the total distance around Cedar park (0.8 miles).
So, the calculation is: 0.8 - 0.55 = 0.25 miles.
Therefore, the correct answer is B. Joan ran 0.25 mile.
Your friend's answer, option A (0.2 mile), is incorrect because it does not take into account the correct calculation based on the given information.
I hope this explanation helps clarify the solution to the problem. Let me know if you have any further questions!
