Question

A fun run is 5 kilometers long. Gavin has run 2/3 of the distance. How far does he have left to run?

Answer 1

`(5)/(3)` km left to run.

Explanation:

First, lets calculate the distance Gavin has ran so far.

To do that, we can find out 2/3 of 5 km:

`(2)/(3) * 5 = (10)/(3)`

To calculate the distance left to run, we subtract the total distance by the distance he ran so far which is:

`5 - (10)/(3) = (15)/(3) - (10)/(3) = (5)/(3)`

So he has
`(5)/(3)` km left to run.
