Question

Jace walked a total distance of StartFraction 5 Over 6 EndFraction of a mile to school this week. If he walked the same distance each of the 5 days, how far did he walk each day?

Answer 1

He walks 5/6 of a mile each day.

5/6 x 5

When multiplying a fraction by a whole number, multiply the numerator ( top number) by the whole number and leave the denominator ( bottom number as is)

5/6 x 5 = (5 x5)/6 = 25/6 now rewrite as a proper fraction:

25/6 = 4 1/6 total miles.

4 1/6 miles over the course of 5 days
