Answer:
- Elena lives 2.5 miles away from school.
- The total liters of water is 2.5 liters
- He can cut 10 pieces of rope of length 1/2 meter
- The fraction of her goal she ran is 1/10
Step-by-step explanation:
From the question,
- Diego lives 5 miles from school, and Elena lives 1/2 as far away as Diego
Therefore, Elena lives 1/2 of 5 miles away from school.
1/2 of 5 miles = 2.5 miles
Hence, Elena lives 2.5 miles away from school.
- Jada has 5 bottles that each contain 1/2 liter of water.
Since each bottle contain 1/2 liter of water, then
The total liters of water is (1/2 × 5) liters
1/2 × 5 = 2.5 liters
Hence, the total liters of water is 2.5 liters
- Noah has 5 meters of rope
To determine how many pieces of rope of length 1/2 meter he can cut,
Number of pieces of rope of length 1/2 meter that can be cut is 5 meter ÷ 1/2 meter
5 meter ÷ 1/2 meter = 10
Hence, he can cut 10 pieces of rope of length 1/2 meter.
- Lin's goal is to run 5 miles. She ran 1/2 mile.
To determine what fraction of her goal that is,
First, she ran 1/2 mile out of 5 miles.
The fraction of her goal she ran is 1/2 mile ÷ 5 miles
1/2 mile ÷ 5 miles = 1/10
Hence, the fraction of her goal she ran is 1/10.
