Understanding Ratios in Running Distances

The video tutorial explains how to find the ratio of the distance Jill ran to the distance Aisha ran. Jill ran half the distance Sam ran, and Sam ran three times the distance Aisha ran. By expressing Jill's and Aisha's distances in terms of Sam's distance, the tutorial demonstrates how to calculate the ratio, resulting in a final ratio of 3:2.

If Jill ran half the distance Sam ran, and Sam ran three times the distance Aisha ran, how can we express Jill's distance in terms of Sam's distance?

• J = 3S

• J = 0.5S

• J = S

• J = 2S
