Answer 2

Answer:

3.047

Step-by-step explanation:

$\frac{miles}{days} \\ \\\frac{15.235}{5} = \frac{?}{1}$

When solving equations you multiply the denominator of one of the fractions by the others numerator. Here the available numerator is 15.235 and the others denominator is 1. This means that we do 15.235 times 1, which is equal to 15.235. The next step is to divide by the remaining denominator or numerator. Here the remaining denominator is 5. This means that we divide 15.235 by 5 which is equal to 3.074.
