Complete question :

Chuck lives 4/5 of a mile from the post office. He walked 2/3 of the way from home to the post office. How far did Chuck walk? If possible, write the answer in reduced form

Answer:

8/ 15 miles

Explanation:

Given that:

Distance from house to post office = 4/5 miles

Distance walked = 2/3 of the distance

Hence, the distance walked can be obtained thus :

2/3 of (4/5)

2/3 * 4/5

8 / 15

Hence, Chucks walked 8 /15 miles
