10 and 1/2 mile course is equal to 21/2\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "divie that by 6 is the same as multiplying by 1/6.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "you get 21/2 * 1/6 = 21/12\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "simplify that to get 7/4.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "each member runs 7/4 miles.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "6 * 6/4 = 42/4 = 10 and 1/2.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "solution checks out.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "each of the 6 members runs 7/4 miles which is equal to 1 and 3/4 miles.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "6 * 1 and 3/4 is equal to 6 + 18/4 which is equal to 6 + 4 and 2/4 which is equal to 10 and 1/2.\r
