Question

Alice walks 6/10 mile every day. How far does Alice walk in 5 days

Answer 1

Since 6/10 * 5 = 3, the answer is 3.

Answer 2

6/10 mile / 1 day

1.) Make this an improper fraction first - so we know Alice walks 6/10 miles a day, and we want to find out how far Alice walks in 5 days.

6/10 x 5 

2.) Simply multiply 5 (days) by the numerator (6), and keep the denominator (we'll use that later).

5 x 6 = 30

3.) You've multiplied the numerator with the amount of days you want to find out (in this case 5). The next step is to place the numerator and denominator appropriately where they're designated, in this case:

30/10

4.) Simply convert the 30/10 (which is an improper fraction) to a whole number. Basically, divide 30 by 10, and you should find out how many miles in the 5 days Alice had walked.

30/10 = 3

Alice had walked 3 miles in 5 days provided she walks 6/10 of a mile per day.
