Question

Someone help please and thank you!

Answer 1

`\boxed{11(1)/(3)}`

Explanation:

`\text{Number of stones} = \frac{\text{Length of path}}{ \text{ Length of each stone}}\\`

`= 2(5 )/( 6) / ( 1)/( 4)\\`

Convert the mixed number to an improper fraction

`2(5 )/( 6) / ( 1)/( 4) = (17)/(6)/( 1)/( 4)\\`

Invert the denominator and change division to multiplication

`(17)/(6)/( 1)/( 4) = (17)/(6)* ( 4)/( 1)\\`

Cancel the 2s

`(17)/(6)* ( 4)/( 1) = (17)/(3)* ( 2)/( 1)\\`

Multiply numerators and denominators.

`(17)/(3)* ( 2)/( 1) = ( 34)/( 3)\\`

Convert the improper fraction to a mixed number.

`( 34)/( 3) = 11(1)/(3)\\`

It takes
`\boxed{11(1)/(3)}`stones to complete the path.
