Question

A feild trip is planned which is 10 2/9 miles from the school.A wheel of the school bus is punctured after 5 3/7 miles . How many miles are left to reach the field trip location?

Answer 1

= 287/152

Explanation:

10 2/9 ÷ 5 3/7

change 10 2/8 into a improper fraction=82/8

do the same thing to 5 3/7 = 38/7

so, 82/8 ÷ 38/7

change 38/7 to a reciprocal = 7/38

then 82/8 × 7/38 = 574/304

reduce the fraction 574/304= 287/152

Answer 2

You do 10 and 2/9 divided by 5 and 3/7=4 and 5/6 miles left.
