It is 6 because 3x3=9 then you do the same for 2 so 6/9
Answer:
This is very detailed as I wish to make some principles about fractions clear.

This question boils down to

A fractions structure is that of:
count
size indicator of what you are counting
→
numerator
denominator
You can not directly add or subtract the counts (numerators) unless the size indicators (denominators) are the same.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Consider
3
2
3
Write as
3
+
2
3
Multiply by 1 and you do not change the value. However, 1 comes in many forms so you can change the way something looks without changing its true value
[

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Putting it all together
3

3
−

→
11

But the size indicators are not the same. I chose to make them become 12
11

Now we may subtract the counts
→
44
−

12
=
41

But this is the same as

Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
I'd say 6.9 paces per mile.
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
-1/3x + 5
Step-by-step explanation:
The slope-intercept is y = mx + b
The m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.
The equation is:
y = -1/3x + 5
