Question

Melinda walked 9/10 of a mile for 5 days. What was the total distance in miles, she walked 5 days?

Answer 1

Multiply how far she walked each day by the number of days.

= 9/10 mile * 5 days
multiply numerator (top) by 5

= (9*5)/10
= 45/10

reduce by 5
= 9/2

convert to mixed number (2 goes into 9 four times with a remainder of one)
= 4 1/2 miles


ANSWER: She walked 4 1/2 miles in 5 days.
