It is an irrational number
Lets write down what we know...
Laura walks 3/5 mile to school everyday
Laura=3/5mile
Isaiah's walk is 3 times as long as Lauras, so
Isaiah=Laura*3
We know how far Lauras walk is so we can solve for Isaiah's walk
Isaiah=3/5*3 (or Isaiah=3/5+3/5+3/5 if thats easier for you to solve for)
Isaiah=9/5 miles
Now we know the answer! Great, Isaiah walks 9/5 miles to school each day. But 9/5 is an improper fraction, so lets convert it to a mixed number.
9/5=
To solve for this, we have to find out how many times 5 can go into 9. 5 goes into 9 one time with a remainder of 4, so we can write the mixed number as.
9/5= 1 4/5
Isaiah walks 9/5miles or 1 4/5 miles. Both are correct.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>GIVEN:
</u>
To find the missing number in the proportion, you have to isolate it the term of x from one side of the equation.

First, thing you do is switch sides.

Multiply by 21 from both sides.

Solve.
Multiply the numbers from left to right.
Use the order of operations.
PEMDAS stands for:
- Parentheses
- Exponents
- Multiply
- Divide
- Add
- Subtract


- <u>Therefore, the final answer is x=24.</u>
