See attachment for options
Given
[tex]Distance = 500\ miles[/tex]
[tex]Laps = 325[/tex]
[tex]Miles\ per\ lap = 1.54[/tex]
Required
Which option is true
First, calculate the actual distance of the race.
[tex]Actual\ Distance = Laps * Miles\ per\ lap[/tex]
[tex]Actual\ Distance = 325 * 1.54[/tex]
[tex]Actual\ Distance = 500.5\ miles[/tex]
The difference between the actual distance and the given distance is:
[tex]Difference = (500.5 - 500)\ miles[/tex]
[tex]Difference = 0.5\ miles[/tex]
Represent as fraction
[tex]Difference = \frac{1}{2}\ mile[/tex]
Option d is correct
