Question

John ran 6 2/3 miles last week he ran 1 1/3 miles each day how many days did he run

Answer 1

$6\frac{2}{3} = \frac{3(6) + 2}{3} = \frac{20}{3} miles$

$1\frac{1}{3} = \frac{3(1) + 1}{3} = \frac{4}{3} miles/day$

$\frac{20}{3} miles$ ÷ $\frac{4}{3} miles/day$

= $\frac{20(miles)}{3}$ * $\frac{3(days)}{4 (miles)}$

= $\frac{20(3) days}{3(4)} = \frac{20 days}{4} = 5 days$

Answer: 5 days
