Answer :
A quarter is 1/4, and each runner runs 1/4 of that distance, so multiply the two numbers together to find the distance run by each runner: 1/16 of a mile, or 0.0625 miles.
Each teammate runs 1/16 miles.
Further Explanation
Given:
- There are four people in a team
- The running distance is 1/4 mile
- Each runner must run the exact distance
Question:
what is the distance each teammate runs?
Each person will run = the total distance
number of person in a team
[tex]\boxed {= \frac{1}{4} : 4 }[/tex]
we can write that equation in multiplication form as follow:
[tex]\boxed {= \frac{1}{4} \times\frac{1}{4} = \frac{1}{16} }[/tex]
So, each person in the team will run [tex]\boxed {\frac{1}{16} }[/tex] miles
