Question

For exercise, mr.harris walked 1 and 3 fourths miles 5 times last week.how many miles did he walk in all?

Answer 1

1(3/4) miles 5 times= 1(3/4)*5= 8 and 3/4 miles

Answer 2

Well, if he walked one and three fourths miles five times, all you have to do is multiply one and three fourths and five to get your answer.

$1 \frac{3}{4}*5 \\ \\ \frac{7}{4}* \frac{5}{1} \\ \\ \frac{7*5}{4*1} \\ \\ \frac{35}{4} =8 \frac{3}{4}$
