If we have that 5 women run an equal part of a 3-mile relay, we need to share equally this 3-mile relay among them.
Then, if we need to equally share 3 miles among these women, we have:
[tex]\frac{3}{5}[/tex]That is, each person runs 3/5 miles:
[tex]\frac{3}{5}+\frac{3}{5}+\frac{3}{5}+\frac{3}{5}+\frac{3}{5}=5\cdot\frac{3}{5}=3_{}[/tex]Therefore, the fraction is equal to 3/5. We divide the 3 miles equally among the five women.
