Question

Lamar hikes Trail B, which is 2 1/2. He stops every 5/6. How many stops does he make?

Answer 1

Answer:

2

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this equation, you need to convert 2 1/2 into an improper fraction:

2 1/2 = 5/2

Then, you convert this into 6ths:

5/2 = 15/6

Next, you divide 15/6 by 5/6:

15/6 / 5/6 = 3

Because Jamal wouldn't make a stop at the end (it wouldn't be considered a stop because he is done), you subtract 1:

3-1=2

The answer is 2 (hope this helps, sorry if i got it wrong)
