Question

After every 1/3 mile of a nature trail , there is a place to rest. How many places to rest are there on a trail that it 1 2/3 mile long ?

Answer 1

Divide.

1 2/3 / 1/3

Or multiply by its reciprocal 3/1:

1 2/3 * 3/1

Convert 1 2/3 into an improper fraction:

5/3 * 3/1 = 15/3 = 5

Answer 2

Every
`(1)/(3)` mile, there is a place to rest

The trail is
`1 (2)/(3)` miles long

Change the length of the trail into an improper fraction


`1 (2)/(3) = (5)/(3)` | which you get by multiplying the 1 and three then add the to and place it over three

Now you divide the length of the trail by the length of the places for breaks


`(5)/(3)`÷
`(1)/(3)` |flip flop the second fraction then multiply


`(5)/(3) * (3)/(1)`=
`(15)/(3)`

Now divide the numerator (to) by the denominator (bottom)

15÷3=5

Answer:

There are five places to rest along the trail
