Question

1. there are 4,550 people attending a music concert. there are 26 equal seating sections. how many people will be sitting in each section?
2. jessica ran 1 2/3 miles on saturday and 3 1/2 miles on sunday. how many more miles did she run on sunday?

Explanation:

Step1: Divide total people by sections

$\frac{4550}{26} = 175$

Step2: Convert mixed numbers to improper fractions

$1\frac{2}{3} = \frac{5}{3}$, $3\frac{1}{2} = \frac{7}{2}$

Step3: Find difference of the two distances

$\frac{7}{2} - \frac{5}{3} = \frac{21}{6} - \frac{10}{6} = \frac{11}{6} = 1\frac{5}{6}$

Answer:

1. 175 people
2. $1\frac{5}{6}$ miles
