Answer:

see explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

To prove the equation id true, solve both sides and if they are equal then the equation is true.

left side = 6 × 8 = 48

right side = 3 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 2

= 6 × 2 × 2 × 2

= 12 × 2 × 2

= 24 × 2

= = 48

Since both sides are equal then the equation is true

James is running on a trail that is 5/4 of a mile long. So far he has run 2/3 of the trail. How many miles has he run so far?

Step 1) You would need to convert your 2 fractions into equivalent numbers. In this case, the closet gcf (greatest common factor) is 12. So, 5/4 would convert to 15/12 and 2/3 converts to 8/12.

Step 2) You know have your decimals that are equivalent. All you have left now is to subtract. Take 15/12 and subtract 8/12 from it. You would now get 7/12 of a mile that is still needed to run.

Step 3) Usually, you would simplify your new fraction. In this case, our fraction doesn't simplify. It will stay 7/12 of a mile. For example, If our number had ended up being 4/12, then we would simplify it to 1/3 of a mile. Because, 4 divided by 4 is 1 and 12 divided by 4 is 3. You can't simplify your answer anymore.
