Question

After walking 1/4 mile from home and Han is 1/3 of his way to school. What is the distance between his home in school right multiplication and division equation represents the situation?

Answer 1

Answer:

Distance from home to school =$\frac{1}{4}\times 3= \frac{3}{4}\ mile$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the distance from home to school be = $x$ miles

After walking $\frac{1}{4}$ mile, Han is $\frac{1}{3}$rd of the way.

$\frac{1}{3} \textrm{ of the total distance } = \frac{1}{4}\ mile$

$\frac{1}{3}x= \frac{1}{4}\ mile$

Multiplying both sides by $3$

$3\times\frac{1}{3}x= \frac{1}{4}\times 3$  

$x= \frac{3}{4}\ mile$

Distance from home to school =$\frac{3}{4}\ mile$
