Maclen ran 2.75 kilometers, then sprinted an additional 450 meters.
a) What is the total distance in meters?
b) Express the total in kilometers.

3.2 km

100

Maclen drinks 5/6 of a bottle, then another 7/8.
a) Total amount
b) How much more than 1 whole bottle?

1 17/24
b) 17/24 more than 1

100
  1. Sprint times (seconds):
    3/2, 7/4, 5/4, 3/2, 9/4, 5/4

a) Find the average time
b) Find the range
c) Which times are above the average?

Values: 3/2, 7/4, 5/4, 3/2, 9/4, 5/4
a) Sum = 57/4 → average = 57/24 = 19/8 = 2 3/8
b) Range: 9/4 − 5/4 = 1
c) Above average: 9/4 only

  1. Without multiplying, order from least to greatest:
  • 8 × 3/4
  • 8 × 5/3
  • 8 × 1/2
  • 8 × 7/6

least → Greatest:
8×1/2, 8×3/4, 8×7/6, 8×5/3

  1. Maclen trains for 2 hours.
  • 3/8 on shooting
  • 1/4 on passing
  • 1/6 on conditioning

a) How much time is used?
b) How much time remains?
c) What fraction of the total time is left?


3/8 + 1/4 + 1/6 = 9/24 + 6/24 + 4/24 = 19/24
a) Time used: 2 × 19/24 = 19/12 = 1 7/12 hours
b) Time left: 2 − 1 7/12 = 5/12 hour
c) Fraction left: 5/24

A football field is about 0.109 kilometers long.
Maclen runs the length 12 times.
a) Total distance in meters

1308 m

200

Maclen practices for 2 3/4 hours.
He spends 1 2/3 hours on drills.
How much time remains?

13/12 = 1 1/12 hours

200
  1. sprint times (seconds):
    3/2, 7/4, 5/4, 3/2, 9/4, 5/4

Maclen improves each time by 1/5 second.
What is the new average?

New average: 19/8 + 1/5 = 95/40 + 8/40 = 103/40 = 2 23/40




200

Maclen lifts 30 lbs.
He increases weight by 4/3, then decreases it by 3/4.
What is the final weight?

30 × 4/3 = 40
40 × 3/4 = 30 lbs

200
  1. A drill requires running 1500 meters.
    Maclen runs:
  • 2/5 at full speed
  • 3/10 at medium speed
  • the rest walking


2/5 + 3/10 = 4/10 + 3/10 = 7/10
Remaining = 3/10
Distance walking: 1500 × 3/10 = 450 meters

300

  1. Maclen’s weekly training distances (in km):
    Monday: 2 1/2
    Tuesday: 1.75
    Wednesday: 3/2
    Thursday: 2.2

a) Total distance for the week
b) Average daily distance
c) If his goal is 10 km, did he meet it? By how much?

Total:
2 1/2 = 2.5
1.75
3/2 = 1.5
2.2
Sum = 7.95 km

b) Average: 7.95 ÷ 4 = 1.9875 km

c) Goal 10 km → short by:
10 − 7.95 = 2.05 km
