Question

Demond Dorothy or high we're hiking and had a choice between two Trails one was 5 1/3 miles on the other was 1 3/4 times as long how long was the longest trail

Answer 1

Answer:

Length of the longest trail $= 9 \frac{1}{3}$

Step-by-step explanation:

The length of the longest trail will be equal to product of the two trails.

Given -

Length of one trail $= 5\frac{1}{3}$

Length of the second  trail  $= 1\frac{3}{4}$

Re writing the fractions, we get -

Length of one trail $= \frac{16}{3}$

Length of second trail $= \frac{7}{4}$

The length of the longest trail

$\frac{16}{3} * \frac{7}{4}\\\frac{16*7}{3*4} \\\frac{4*7}{3} \\\frac{28}{3}\\9\frac{1}{3}$

Length of the longest trail $= 9 \frac{1}{3}$
