Question

The art museum is 8 1/2 miles from Alison's house. Alison has ridden her bike 2/3 of the way there so far. How far how she gone? In fraction answer

Answer 1

Alison is 2/3 of the way to the museum, so the answer is about 2/3 of 9, or 6 miles. Let's calculate it:

2 17 miles
---- * (8 1/2 miles) = -------------- She has ridden (17/3) miles, which is 5 2/3
3 3 miles.

Answer 2

`5(2)/(3)` miles

Explanation:

Distance between art museum and Alison's house =
`8(1)/(2) miles`

=
`(17)/(2) miles`

Alison has ridden 2/3 of the way

So, She traveled distance =
`(2)/(3) * (17)/(2)`

=
`(17)/(3)`

=
`5(2)/(3)`

Hence she gone
`5(2)/(3)` miles
