Rachel jogged along a trail that was '1/4' of a mile long. She jogged along the trail '8 times'
Notice the key word, 'times', this means you are going to use multiplication.
Convert 8 into a fraction, like this:
[tex] \frac{8}{1} [/tex]
Now, lets set up your problem, and solve:
[tex] \frac{1}{4} * \frac{8}{1} [/tex]
[tex] \frac{(1*8)}{(4*1)} [/tex]
[tex] \frac{8}{4} [/tex]
Answer:
[tex]2~miles[/tex]
Rachel had jogged 2 miles.
Good luck with your studies, I hope this helps~!
