A tenth is 1/10.
5 tenths is 5/10.

5/10 is a fraction that can be made simpler, by dividing by 5, so that the fraction becomes 1/2.

1/2 is a half, so if you have a half a dollar, you have 50 cents.

Hope I helped. :)

Sue needs to drive 372 miles to visit her aunt. She stopped at a gas station one-third of the way in to her trip. How many miles

IRINA_888 [86]

Answer:

Sue has traveled 124 miles.

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, the distance covered by Sue is a fraction of the total distance to be covered.

The total distance to her aunt's = 372 miles

but the gas station is at one-third of the distance to be covered.

Thus,

Miles traveled by Sue = $\frac{1}{3}$ x 372

= 124

Miles traveled by Sue = 124 miles.

Therefore Sue has traveled 124 miles.
