A horse galloped along seven and three sevenths miles of trail. There were hurdles spaced evenly throughout the trail every four sevenths of a mile. How many hurdles did the horse jump?

Respuesta :

Answer:

13 Hurdles

Step-by-step explanation:

If a horse galloped along seven and three sevenths miles of trail and hurdles spaced evenly throughout the trail every four sevenths of a mile then there are 13 such hurdles after solving all the fractions.

Given that a horse galloped along seven and three sevenths miles of trail and hurdles spaced evenly throughout the trail every four sevenths of a mile.

We are required to find the number of hurdles. All the values are given in fractions.

Ability of horse to gallop=7+3/7

=(49+3)/7

=52/7

Distance between two hurdles=4/7

Number of hurdles=52/7/4/7

=52*7/4*7

=52/4

=13 hurdles

Hence if a horse galloped along seven and three sevenths miles of trail and hurdles spaced evenly throughout the trail every four sevenths of a mile then there are 13 such hurdles after solving all the fractions.
