Question 7
Both Dale and Chan went running for an hour. Dale ran 5 miles, and Chan ran 2.5 miles. How did
Dale's distance compare to Chan's? (Use division to compare.)

Respuesta :

To compare Dale's and Chan's distances, we can use division. Here's how you can compare them: 1. Dale ran 5 miles, and Chan ran 2.5 miles. 2. To compare, divide the distance Dale ran by the distance Chan ran: 5 miles / 2.5 miles = 2 3. This calculation shows that Dale ran 2 times the distance Chan ran. 4. Therefore, Dale's distance (5 miles) is twice Chan's distance (2.5 miles). In conclusion, Dale ran twice the distance Chan ran.
