The art museum is 8 1/2 miles from Alison's house. Alison has ridden her bike 2/3 of the way there so far. How far how she gone? In fraction answer

Answer 1

Alison is 2/3 of the way to the museum, so the answer is about 2/3 of 9, or 6 miles.  Let's calculate it:

  2                              17 miles
---- * (8 1/2 miles) = --------------     She has ridden (17/3) miles, which is 5 2/3 
 3                                    3             miles.

Answer 2

Answer:

$5\frac{2}{3}$ miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Distance between  art museum and Alison's house = $8\frac{1}{2} miles$

                                                                                       = $\frac{17}{2} miles$

Alison has ridden  2/3 of the way

So, She traveled distance = $\frac{2}{3} \times \frac{17}{2}$

                                           = $\frac{17}{3}$

                                           = $5\frac{2}{3}$

Hence she gone $5\frac{2}{3}$ miles
