Answer:
55 days
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
Jim ran 15 miles in 5 days
no. of miles ran in 5 days = 15 miles
dividing LHS and RHS by 5
no. of miles ran in 5/5(=1) days = 15/5 miles = 3 miles
no. of miles ran in 1 day = 3 miles
let the no. of days taken to run 165 miles be x ----A
No of miles ran in x days = x*no. of miles ran in 1 day = 3x miles
thus, From A
3x = 165
x = 165/3 = 55
Thus, it took 55 days for JIM to run 165 miles
Yes it is just like a+b = b+a
Answer:
house keeping
Step-by-step explanation:
I would change the 1 2/5 miles to a whole fraction which would be 7/5 miles then invert the 5/8 th to 8/5 then multiply the fractions. I.E. 7/5 x 8/5 which will give 56/25. Divide 25 into 56 and you get 2 6/25 miles or convert to a decimal and would be 2.24 miles.
