    25½ mi/mo

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Distance = rate * time

    d = rt Divide each side by t

    r = d/t

    dа ta:

    d = 68 mi

    t = 2⅔ mo

    Calculation:

    r = 68 / (2⅔) Convert denominator to improper fraction

    = 68 / (⁸/₃) Invert the denominator and multiply

    = ⁶⁸/₁ * ³/₈ Multiply the numerators and denominators

    = ²⁰⁴/₈ Reduce to simplest terms

    = ⁵¹/₂ Convert to mixed number

    = 25½ mi/mo

    On average, you ran 25½ miles each month.

    25 1/2

    Step-by-step explanation:

    You need to divide 68 miles by 2 2/3 months.

    68 / (2 2/3) =

    = 68 / (8/3)

    = 68 * 3/8

    = 68/1 * 3/8

    = 204/8

    = 102/4

    = 51/2

    = 25 1/2
