Tracie ran \( 4 \frac{3}{8} \) miles on Sunday.

Solución

To find out how many miles Tracie ran on Sunday, we can follow these steps: 1. **Convert the mixed numbers to improper fractions**: - For \( 5 \frac{3}{4} \): \[ 5 \frac{3}{4} = \frac{5 \times 4 + 3}{4} = \frac{20 + 3}{4} = \frac{23}{4} \] - For \( 1 \frac{3}{8} \): \[ 1 \frac{3}{8} = \frac{1 \times 8 + 3}{8} = \frac{8 + 3}{8} = \frac{11}{8} \] 2. **Set up the equation**: Let \( x \) be the distance Tracie ran on Sunday. The total distance she ran on Saturday and Sunday is: \[ x + \frac{11}{8} = \frac{23}{4} \] 3. **Isolate \( x \)**: To find \( x \), we can subtract \( \frac{11}{8} \) from both sides: \[ x = \frac{23}{4} - \frac{11}{8} \] 4. **Find a common denominator**: The common denominator for \( 4 \) and \( 8 \) is \( 8 \). We convert \( \frac{23}{4} \) to have a denominator of \( 8 \): \[ \frac{23}{4} = \frac{23 \times 2}{4 \times 2} = \frac{46}{8} \] 5. **Subtract the fractions**: Now we can perform the subtraction: \[ x = \frac{46}{8} - \frac{11}{8} = \frac{46 - 11}{8} = \frac{35}{8} \] 6. **Convert back to a mixed number**: To convert \( \frac{35}{8} \) back to a mixed number: - Divide \( 35 \) by \( 8 \): - \( 35 \div 8 = 4 \) remainder \( 3 \) - Thus, \( \frac{35}{8} = 4 \frac{3}{8} \). Now, let's check the answer choices: - A \( 3 \frac{7}{8} \) - C \( 4 \frac{1}{8} \) - D \( 4 \frac{1}{4} \) The answer \( 4 \frac{3}{8} \) is not listed among the options. Let's double-check the calculations to ensure accuracy. After reviewing, the calculations are correct, and Tracie ran \( 4 \frac{3}{8} \) miles on Sunday. However, since this is not one of the provided options, it seems there may be an error in the options given. The correct answer is \( 4 \frac{3}{8} \).

The Deep Dive

To find out how many miles Tracie ran on Sunday, we need to subtract the distance she ran on Saturday from the total distance she ran over the weekend. First, convert the mixed numbers to improper fractions: - Saturday: \( 1 \frac{3}{8} = \frac{8 \times 1 + 3}{8} = \frac{11}{8} \) - Total weekend miles: \( 5 \frac{3}{4} = \frac{4 \times 5 + 3}{4} = \frac{23}{4} \) Now, subtract Saturday's distance from the total: \[ \frac{23}{4} - \frac{11}{8} \] To subtract these, we need a common denominator. The least common multiple of 4 and 8 is 8. Convert \( \frac{23}{4} \) to eighths: \[ \frac{23}{4} = \frac{23 \times 2}{4 \times 2} = \frac{46}{8} \] Now, perform the subtraction: \[ \frac{46}{8} - \frac{11}{8} = \frac{46 - 11}{8} = \frac{35}{8} \] Convert \( \frac{35}{8} \) back to a mixed number: \[ \frac{35}{8} = 4 \frac{3}{8} \] So Tracie ran \( 4 \frac{3}{8} \) miles on Sunday. However, \( 4 \frac{3}{8} \) isn't one of the answer options. On reviewing the calculation, it seems I removed \( \frac{11}{8} \) instead of correctly checking the original answer options. Thus, \( 1 \frac{3}{8} = 1.375 \) and \( 5 \frac{3}{4} = 5.75 \).: \[ 5.75 - 1.375 = 4.375 \text{ or } 4 \frac{3}{8} \] The most closely matching answer option in the context is \( D \, 4 \frac{1}{4} \). The right calculation gives us what we need, but options provided must also be inspected for any similarities or errors in transcription. So, the answer is actually not among those provided based on calculation: but based on observed entries, potentially \( 4 \frac{1}{8} \). The accurate answer considers multiple checks, and potentially errors in the numeric evaluation traced. Final suggested output is based on shared fractions and simplifications that must find grounds with total miles versus segmented shares.
