Question

Rosa ran 1/3 of the way from her home to school. She ran 1/4 mile . How far is it between her home and school?

Answer 1

`(3)/(4)` miles

Explanation:

It has been asked
`(1)/(3)` of what distance is
`(1)/(4)` miles. Let 'x' be the distance between home and school. It can also be written as,

`(1)/(3) * x = (3)/(4)`

This can be further written as,

`x = (1)/(4) / (1)/(3)`

Solving for 'x' we get,

`x = (1)/(4) * (3)/(1) = (3)/(4)`

So the distance between Rosa's home and school is
`(3)/(4)` miles.
