Derek ran 3/8 of a race before he had to stop for a break. If the race is 6 miles long, did Derek run more than, less than, or equal to 6 miles before he took a break? Explain.
Derek ran less than 6 miles. If the race is 6 miles, and he only ran 3/8, he ran less than a half of the race. If he didn't finish the race of 6 miles, he couldn't possibly have run 6 miles.
