Question

Jade ran 6 times around her neighborhood to complete a total of 1 mile. How many times will she need to run to complete 5/6 of mile

Answer 1

Set up a proportion where number of times is on top and miles is on bottom:
6/1 = x/(5/6)
Cross-multiply:
6*(5/6) = 1*x
5 = x
She must run 5 times around her neighborhood.
