Question

Sonia takes a 4/5 mile walk every day. What part of her walk has she completed once she has walked 3/5 miles

Answer 1

It is given that Sonia takes 4/5 mile walk everyday.

Consider 4/5 represent the 100%

so using the proportion we can determine which part of her walk she completed once she has walked 3/5 miles.

Find out what percentage represent 3/5

Let

x -----> the percentage that represent 3/5

Then convert to fraction number

$\frac{\frac{4}{5}}{100}=\frac{\frac{3}{5}}{x}$

$\frac{4}{500}=\frac{3}{5x}$

$x=\frac{3\times500}{20}=75$

Therefore , the value of x in percentage is 75 percent.

Convert into fraction number.

$\frac{75}{100}=\frac{3}{4}$

Hence , she has completed 3/4 of her walk once she has walked 3/5 miles.
