Question

Jade ran 6 times around her neighborhood to complete a total of 1 mile. How many times will she need to run to complete 5/6 of a mile?

Answer 1

Let x = number of time Jade needs to run to complete 5/6 of mile

Since, we have the number of time running around the neighborhood is directly proportional with the number of miles we have =

6 : 1 = x : (5/6)

By solving that we'll get 5

So, she need to run 5 miles to compete 5/6 of a mile

Answer 2

5 times because you have to do 6 x 5/6 to get 5 because 6 is haw many times you can run for 1 mile
