Math Problem Statement

Micah ran 3 days this week. He ran 1/2 of a mile. How many miles did he run in all?

Solution

The problem in the image asks:

"Micah ran 3 days this week. He ran 12\frac{1}{2} of a mile. How many miles did he run in all?"

Solution:

Since Micah ran 12\frac{1}{2} mile each day for 3 days, we need to multiply the distance he ran each day by the number of days.

Total miles=3×12=32=1.5 miles\text{Total miles} = 3 \times \frac{1}{2} = \frac{3}{2} = 1.5 \text{ miles}

So, Micah ran 1.5 miles in all.
