Question

the campers in cabin B walked 2/3 of the way to Silver stream which is 8 miles long how many miles did they walk

Answer 1

They walked 5 1/3 miles.

Explanation:

I must assume that the stream is 8 miles away (not 8 miles long), and that these campers walked 2/3 of that distance. That would be (2/3)(8 miles), or (16/3) miles, which is 5 1/3 miles.

They walked 5 1/3 miles.

Answer 2

2/3 of 8 miles is 5 and 1/3 miles.

So they walked about 5 and 1/3 miles there.
