Samira ran around a park loop that was 1/3 mile long. She ran around the loop 9 times. Samira says she ran 9/3 miles. Her brother Amal says she ran 3 miles. Who is correct? Use words and drawings to explain how you know.
The brother is correct by convention but technically they are the exact same number, I'd just say the brother because he simplied it to be a more usable number.
