Question

Will ran four miles on his first day of training. The next day he ran one-third that distance. How far did he ran the second day?

Answer 1

To solve, we multiply the distance he ran on the first day by 1/3. This lets us find out how far he ran the second day.

4mi*1/3=1 1/3mi

Will ran 1 1/3 miles on the second day.

Answer 2

4/1 times 1/3 is 4/3 or 1 1/3 miles on the second day of training.
