Answer:

5 35/72 kilometers

Explanation:

The distance around a lake is 6 7/12 kilometers. Evan rode his bike 5/6 of the distance around the lake. What is the distance in kilometers that Evan rode

This is calculated as:

Total distance = 6 7/12 km

Evan rode = 5/6 of the distance

Hence:

The distance Evans rode is

5/6 of 6 7/12

= 5/6 × 79/12

= 395/72

= 5 35/72 km(kilometers)
