6 boys take part in a relay event each boy runs 3/4 of a mile , how far do they run altogether ? please help , thanks ?

Answer 1

4 1/2 miles.  6 x 3/4 equals 4.5

Answer 2

# of boys x distance run by each = total distance OR distance run by boy + distance run by boy + distance run by boy + (add distance for each boy who ran) = total distance run (very basic math problem).

Answer 3

Take 3/4 mi and add it six times, one time per boy.  So you have 3/4 + 3/4 + 3/4 + 3/4 + 3/4 + 3/4 = 18/4 miles.

Answer 4

You don’t know how to multiply 6 * 3/4 or 6 times .75.
