Question

Frosty has traveled 2/3 of the way down Santa Claus lane.The lane is 336 feet long.How many feet has Frosty traveled?

Answer 1

We can multiply 336 by 2/3 to find out.

2/3(336)

To make this easier, we can change 336 to 336/1, which does not change it's value.

Multiply 336 by 2.

336 * 2 = 672

Multiply 1 by 3.

1 * 3 = 3

Our new value is 672/3

Evaluate, divide both sides of the fraction by 3.

672/3 = 224.

3/3 = 1

224/1

224/1 = 224

Frosty has traveled 224 feet.
