If you're multiplying a whole number by a fraction, then multiply the whole number by the numerator, then divide that number by the denominator.

So in the case of 15 x (5/6), multiply the 15 by 5 (75) and then divide by 6 to get 75/6 (as an unsimplified answer).

In the case of 3 x (3/6), you again multiply the whole number by the numerator (3x3=9) and divide by the denominator (9/6) to get 9/6 or 3/2 when simplified.

Answer: 375 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question, we are given the information that Sunni is riding a raft down a stream that is moving at a rate of 75 feet per minute.

To calculate how far downstream that she can travel in 5 minute, we have to multiply the distance covered per minute by 5. This will be:

= 75 feet × 5

= 375 feet
