Question

Lesson 6: Relate Division and Multiplication Cool-down: A Different Relay Race 1. Lin and Han ran a 5 mile relay race as a team. They each ran the same distance. Dras diagram to represent the situation.

Answer 1

Lin and Han ran a 5 miles relay race.

If they both ran same distance, that means each of them ran;

$\frac{1}{2}(5\text{miles)}=2.5\text{miles}$

So, Lin and Han ran 2.5miles each.

The diadramatic representation of this scenario is;

The image above shows a track race of 5 miles divided into two. LIN ran half of it (2.5 miles) and also Han ran the other half, also (2.5 miles)
