A sheet of address labels is 634 inches long and 413 inches wide. The length is divided into sections that are 118 inches long, and the width is divided into sections that are 1112 inches wide. Solve this multi-step problem involving division with fractions. How many sections are there?20 sections
20 sections
10 sections

24 sections
24 sections
12 sections
12 sections
To find the number of sections in the length, divide the total length by the length of each section: 634 inches / 118 inches/section = 5.37 sections. Since it is not possible to have a fraction of a section, round up to the nearest whole number: 5.37 ≈ 6 sections.
To find the number of sections in the width, divide the total width by the width of each section: 413 inches / 112 inches/section = 3.68 sections. Again, round up to the nearest whole number: 3.68 ≈ 4 sections.
Therefore, there are 6 sections in the length and 4 sections in the width. To find the total number of sections, multiply the number of sections in the length by the number of sections in the width: 6 sections x 4 sections = 24 sections.
So, the answer is 24 sections.
Keshia ran 1012 miles in 134 hours. Mateo ran 12 miles in 225 hours. Who ran faster?(1 point)
Responses
Keshia ran faster; she ran 6 miles per hour.
Keshia ran faster; she ran 6 miles per hour.
Keshia ran faster; she ran 16 of a mile per hour.
Keshia ran faster; she ran Start Fraction 1 over 6 End Fraction of a mile per hour.
Mateo ran faster; he ran 5 miles per hour.
Mateo ran faster; he ran 5 miles per hour.
Mateo ran faster; he ran 15 of a mile per hour.
To determine who ran faster, we can compare the speed of Keshia and Mateo.
Keshia ran 1012 miles in 134 hours, so her average speed can be calculated as 1012 miles / 134 hours = 7.552 miles per hour (rounded to three decimal places).
Mateo ran 12 miles in 225 hours, so his average speed can be calculated as 12 miles / 225 hours = 0.053 miles per hour (rounded to three decimal places).
Comparing their speeds, we can see that Keshia ran faster with an average speed of 7.552 miles per hour, while Mateo had an average speed of 0.053 miles per hour.
Therefore, the correct answer is: Keshia ran faster; she ran 7.552 miles per hour.
