Answer:
So the total number of laps run = [tex]7\frac{3}{8}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
The first team member in a 3 person team has to run [tex]2\frac{1}{4}[/tex] laps, the second person has to run [tex]1\frac{1}{2}[/tex] and the third person has to run [tex]3\frac{5}{8}[/tex] laps.
We have to find total number of laps run by each team.
Total number of laps = [tex]2\frac{1}{4}+1\frac{1}{2} +3\frac{5}{8}[/tex]
= [tex]\frac{18}{8}+\frac{12}{8}+\frac{29}{8}[/tex]
= [tex]\frac{59}{8}[/tex]
= [tex]7\frac{3}{8}[/tex]
So the total number of laps run = [tex]7\frac{3}{8}[/tex]
