Question

Russ walks 7/10 miles to school. How far has he walked when he has covered 5/8 of the distance to school?

Answer 1

$\ \frac{25}{40}$ miles

Answer 2

If he walks 7/10 miles to school, and you want to find 5/8 of that distance, you have to multiply the 2 fractions together.

7/10 • 5/8 = 35/80 = 7/16

So he has walked 7/16 miles when he has covered 5/8 of the distance to school.
