Question

Brianna and Holden hiked 6 2/9 miles on Monday and 2 2/3 miles on Tuesday. How many times as far did they hike on Monday as they did on Tuesday?​

Answer 1

2 1/3 times as far

Explanation:

The ratio of distances is ...

(Monday distance) / (Tuesday distance) = (6 2/9)/(2 2/3)

= (56/9)/(8/3) = (56·3)/(8·9) = 7/3 = 2 1/3

They hiked 2 1/3 times as far on Monday as they did on Tuesday.
