Question

Shivani runs 2 1/2 miles every day. How many miles did she run in 7 days?

Answer 1

$$\begin{gathered} \mathrm{Distance}\mathrm{ran}\mathrm{by}\mathrm{Shivani}\mathrm{each}\mathrm{day}=2\frac{1}{2}\mathrm{miles}=\frac{5}{2}\mathrm{miles} \\ \mathrm{So},\mathrm{distance}\mathrm{ran}\mathrm{by}\mathrm{Shivani}7\mathrm{days}=7\times \mathrm{Distance}\mathrm{ran}\mathrm{by}\mathrm{Shivani}\mathrm{each}\mathrm{day} \\ =7\times \frac{5}{2} \\ =\frac{35}{2} \\ =17\frac{1}{2}\mathrm{miles} \end{gathered}$$
