Jill lives 3 1/2 miles from school. One morning, her friend was giving her a ride. When they were 2/3 of the way to school, their car broke down and they had to walk the rest of the way. Draw a picture to help you figure out how far they walked.

Respuesta :

We want to find the distance that Jill and her friend must walk, we will see that the distance is (1 + 1/6) miles

So the total distance of the travel is:

(3 + 1/2) miles.

2/3 of that distance are made in the car, then the other 1/3 is the distance that they must walk. A rough sketch of the situation is shown at the end.

Then we must solve:

(1/3)*(3 + 1/2) miles = ((1/3)*3 + (1/3)*(1/2)) miles

= (1 + 1/6) miles

So the distance that they must walk is (1 + 1/6) miles
