Please help with the question below (please try to answer in max 10/15 minutes).Jasmine can run 4 5/6 miles in 2/3 of an Hour. How many miles can she run in 1 hour?Simplify completely

Answer 1

Explanation

We are given the following:

`Jasmine\text{ }can\text{ }run\text{ }4(5)/(6)\text{ }miles\text{ }in\text{ }(2)/(3)\text{ }of\text{ }an\text{ }hour`

We are required to determine how many miles she can run in 1 hour.

This is achieved thus:

`\begin{gathered} 4(5)/(6)miles\Rightarrow(2)/(3)hour \\ \therefore1hour\Rightarrow4(5)/(6)/(2)/(3) \\ =(29)/(6)/(2)/(3) \\ =(29)/(6)*(3)/(2) \\ =(29)/(2)*(1)/(2) \\ =(29)/(4) \\ =7(1)/(4) \end{gathered}`

Hence, the answer is:

`7(1)/(4)\text{ }miles`
