Question

Sally walked 12 miles. Her brother Sam walked 1/10 as much as Sally. How many miles did Sam walked?

Answer 1

Sam walked 1.2 miles

Explanation:

We are given

Sally walked 12 miles

so,

`SL=12miles`

Let's assume distance traveled by Sam is SM

Her brother Sam walked 1/10 as much as Sally

so,

`SM=(1)/(10)SL`

now, we can plug value

`SM=(1)/(10)* 12`

`SM=1.2`

So,

Sam walked 1.2 miles
