We know how far Lauras walk is so we can solve for Isaiah's walk
Isaiah=3/5*3 (or Isaiah=3/5+3/5+3/5 if thats easier for you to solve for) Isaiah=9/5 miles
Now we know the answer! Great, Isaiah walks 9/5 miles to school each day. But 9/5 is an improper fraction, so lets convert it to a mixed number.
9/5=
To solve for this, we have to find out how many times 5 can go into 9. 5 goes into 9 one time with a remainder of 4, so we can write the mixed number as.
9/5= 1 4/5
Isaiah walks 9/5miles or 1 4/5 miles. Both are correct.
In this question, it is important to understand the words of the problem
and then note down the details already provided in the problem. This
will make the solving of this problem easier.Now coming to the details
already given. Distance walked by Laura to reach school each day = 3/5 mile Distance walked by Isaiah to reach school is 3 times that of Laura and it is already given in the question. Then The distance walked by Isaiah to reach school each day = (3/5) * 3 = 9/5 = 1 4/5 So
Isaiah walks a distance of 1 4/5 miles each day for reaching school. I
hope that the procedure of doing such problems is clear to you and yiou
can attempt such problems in future without needing any help.
