Question

Jasmine can run 4 5/6 miles in 2/3 of an hour. how many miles can she run 1 hour simplify comepletly

Answer 1

Remark

the question depends on d= r * t

d = the distance in miles.

r = the rate of travel in miles per hour

t = the time in hours.

Step One

Rearrange the formula so you are solving for the rate.

d = r * t Divide by t

4 5/6 = (4*6 + 5)/6 = 29/6

r = d / t

Step Two

Substitute into the equation.

$r = \dfrac{\dfrac{29}{6}}{\dfrac{2}{3} }$

Step Three

Turn the bottom fraction upside down. Multiply these two together.

r = $\dfrac{29}{6} * \dfrac{3}{2}$

r = 29/4 miles hour.

Step Four

Solve for d when t = 1 hour.

d = ??

r = 29/4 miles / hour

t = 1 hour.

d = 29/4 * 1

d = 29/4 miles

That's as simple as you can get it unless you want 7 1/4 miles or 7.25 miles
