Robert ran a race that was 2/3 of a mile in length. If he has completed 5/6 of the race, how far has he run in miles?

Answer:

5/9

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's begin by determining the factors of the problem. We know that Robert ran a race that is 2/3 of a mile long. Therefore, we know that 2/3 is a factor in the equation. We also know that, of the 2/3 mile, he ran 5/6 of it. Now the tricky part is deciding how the two fractions are related.

To make this easier, let's substitute a different number for 5/6. We'll say 2.

If he has completed TWICE the length of the race, how would you determine how far he ran?

You would multiply 2/3 by 2! This same principle can be applied to the problem.

To determine the total distance run in miles, we can write it as 2/3 * 5/6

(NOTE that * is known as "times" or "multiplied by")

With this, you multiply the numerators (2 * 5 = 10) and the denominators (3 * 6 = 18) and then make your fraction... 10/18!

But you're not done yet. Always remember to simplify when possible. Both terms are divisible by 2. Therefore, it can be written as 5/9.

Hope this helped!

$5.35 - $2.55
= $2.80 |80% paper|

80/100 = 2.80/x
4/5 = 2.80/x
4x = 14
x = 3.5

On a map, the scale shown is 1 inch: 20 miles. If a city is 900 square miles, what is the area of the city on the map?
WITCHER [35]

Answer:

2.25 square inches

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The scale is 1\ inch: 20\ miles

That means

1 inch on a map represent 20 miles in the city

so

An area of (1)(1)=1\ in^2 on a map represent an area of (20)(20)=400\ mi^2 in the city

Applying proportion

\frac{1}{400}\ \frac{in^2}{mi^2}=\frac{x}{900}\ \frac{in^2}{mi^2}\\\\x=900/400\\\\x=2.25\ in^2
