Stan ran 4 and StartFraction 7 Over 10 EndFraction miles, which was 1 and StartFraction 3 Over 10 EndFraction fewer miles than Matt ran. Four students wrote and solved equations to find m, the number of miles that Matt ran. Which student wrote and solved the equation correctly?

Respuesta :

Answer:

6 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

From the above question:

Stan ran 4 and StartFraction 7 Over 10 EndFraction miles

The number of miles stan ran =

4 7/10 miles

We are also told that this number of miles was 1 and StartFraction 3 Over 10 EndFraction fewer miles than Matt ran.

Let the number of miles Matt ran = m

Hence,

4 7/10 miles = m - 1 3/10

m = 4 7/10 + 1 3/10

m = (4 + 1) + ( 7/10 + 3/10)

m = 5 + (7 + 3/10)

m = 5 + (10/10)

m = 5 + 1

m = 6 miles

Therefore, the number rod miles Matt ran was 6 miles
