Question

Erica can run 1/6​ start fraction, 1, divided by, 6, end fraction of a mile in a minute. Her school is \dfrac23 ​3 ​ ​2 ​​ start fraction, 2, divided by, 3, end fraction of a mile away from her home. At this speed, how long would it take Erica to run home from school?

Answer 1

4.5 minutes

Explanation:

Answer 2

Her school is 2/3 miles away

2/3=4/6miles

So we need to find out how long it will take for her to run home from school...

School=4/6 miles

In 1 minutes she can run 1/6 miles

1min=1/6miles

In 2 minutes she can run 1/6+1/6 miles (1/6+1/6=2/6)

2min=2/6miles

3min=3/6miles

4min=4/6miles

It will take Erica 4 minutes to run 4/6 miles, so it'll take her 4 minutes to get home.
