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.
