Verified Answer :

\(0.75*0.8= \frac{75}{100} * \frac{8}{10} = \frac{75*8}{100*10} = \frac{600}{1000} = \frac{6}{10}=0.6\)



Answer:

0.6 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that the  distance around the lake is 0.75 miles

Derek ran on Monday=0.8 of the distance

We have to find that how far Derek  run

0.8 of the distance=\(0.8\times 0.75\)

0.8 of the distance=0.6 miles

Derek ran on Monday=0.6 miles

Hence, Derek run on Monday=0.6 miles
