Ella and three friends run in a relay race that is 14 miles long. Each person runs equal parts of the race. How many miles does each person run?

Respuesta :

Ella + 3 friends divided by 14 miles. 

14 ÷ 4= 3.5 
So each person ran 3.5 miles

Answer:

3.5 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that

Total distance covered in a race=14 miles

Total number of persons=4

Each person runs equal parts of the race.

We have to find the miles run by each person.

To find the distance covered by each person we will divide the total distance by total number of persons who took part in a race.

Each person runs =[tex]\frac{total\;distance}{total\;number\;of\;persons}[/tex]

Each person runs=[tex]\frac{14}{4}[/tex]

Each person runs=3.5 miles

Hence, each person runs 3.5 miles.
