Question

Andre is working from home to a festival that is 1 5/8 km away. He takes a quick rest after walking 1/3 km what fraction of the trip has Andre completed

Answer 1

Answer:

The fraction of trip completed by Andre is  $\frac{31}{24}$ km

Step-by-step explanation:

Given as :

The Total distance between the home to a festival = 1 $\frac{5}{8}$ km

I.e The total distance between the home to a festival =  $\frac{13}{8}$ km

The distance cover by Andre before taking rest =  $\frac{1}{3}$ km

Let The fraction of trip completed by Andre = x km

So, According to question

The fraction of trip completed by Andre = The Total distance between the home to a festival - The distance cover by Andre before taking rest

or, x =  $\frac{13}{8}$ km - $\frac{1}{3}$ km

or, x =  $\frac{39 - 8}{24}$ km

∴ x = $\frac{31}{24}$ km

Or, The fraction of trip completed by Andre = x = $\frac{31}{24}$ km

Hence , The fraction of trip completed by Andre is  $\frac{31}{24}$ km Answer

Answer 2

Answer:

$\frac{4}{15}$

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that the total distance is

$1\frac{5}{8}km$ which is standard fraction would be $\frac{13}{8}km$.

So, Andre walks $\frac{1}{3}km$, that means he needs to walk the following distance to get to the festival

$\frac{13}{8}-\frac{1}{3}=\frac{39-8}{24}=\frac{31}{24}km$

Now, to find the fraction of the tripe that represents the distance he already completed, we have to divide

$\frac{1}{3} \div \frac{13}{8}=\frac{1}{3} \times \frac{8}{13}=\frac{8}{30}=\frac{4}{15}$

Therefore, we completed a $\frac{4}{15}$ part of the total distance.
