Question

Amy began running program. She ran less than 5/6 of mile. What part of a mile could Amy have run?

Answer 1

1/6 2/6 3/6 or 4/6 of a mile

Answer 2

Amy ran less than 5/6 of a mile.

So let us represent it on number line.

dividing 0-1 into 6 equal parts, we have 0/6, 1/6, 2/6 , 3/6, 4/6 , 5/6 and 6/6.

so when we represent it on number line, we can see that the possible miles that she can run are 0/6, 1/6, 2/6, 3/6 and 4/6.
