You run 3 1/4 miles as part of your routine. You run 2/5 on a hill. You run down the slope for the last 1/2 mile of the hill. How many miles do you run down the slope?

1 5/8

Step-by-step explanation:

Sorry read it wrong

The problem states that the last HALF of the run was down the slope, therefore the answer would be 1/2 of the total run, 3 1/4.

if a = 1,   and b = 2, then the answer is 47.99999999. if you round that to the nearest whole number, the answer is 48.

a

step-by-step explanation:

when a number is between two straight lines it means the absolute value.

to find absolute value you need to know how many numbers is that number away from 0.

when finding absolute value the number will always come out positive

so absolute value of -3 is 3

absolute value of 3/2 is 3/2

absolute value of -2 is 2

absolute value of 3.5 is 3.5

absolute value of -1 is 1

now put these numbers in order:

a)   |-1|, |3/2|, |-2|, |-3|, |3.5|
