The art museum is 8 1/2 miles from Alison's house. Alison has ridden her bike 2/3 of the way there so far. How far how she gone? In fraction answer

Respuesta :

Alison is 2/3 of the way to the museum, so the answer is about 2/3 of 9, or 6 miles.  Let's calculate it:

  2                              17 miles
---- * (8 1/2 miles) = --------------     She has ridden (17/3) miles, which is 5 2/3 
 3                                    3             miles.

Answer:

[tex]5\frac{2}{3}[/tex] miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Distance between  art museum and Alison's house = [tex]8\frac{1}{2} miles[/tex]

                                                                                       = [tex]\frac{17}{2} miles[/tex]

Alison has ridden  2/3 of the way

So, She traveled distance = [tex]\frac{2}{3} \times \frac{17}{2}[/tex]

                                           = [tex]\frac{17}{3}[/tex]

                                           = [tex]5\frac{2}{3}[/tex]

Hence she gone [tex]5\frac{2}{3}[/tex] miles
