Question

A fun run is 5 kilometers long. Gavin has run 2/3 of the distance. How far does he have left to run?

Answer 1

Answer:

$\frac{5}{3}$ km left to run.

Step-by-step explanation:

First, lets calculate the distance Gavin has ran so far.

To do that, we can find out 2/3 of 5 km:

$\frac{2}{3} \times 5 = \frac{10}{3}$

To calculate the distance left to run, we subtract the total distance by the distance he ran so far which is:

$5 - \frac{10}{3} = \frac{15}{3} - \frac{10}{3} = \frac{5}{3}$

So he has $\frac{5}{3}$ km left to run.
