Question

One lap around Mansfield Park is 1 1/2 miles. Abby jogged 2/3 of a lap before she needed a water break. How many miles did Abby jog before she stopped for water?

Answer 1

Abby jogged 2/3 mile before she stopped for a water break

Explanation:

If you want to find out how many miles Abby jogged before she stopped for a water break, you need to calculate 2/3 of a lap around Mansfield Park, which is 1 1/2 miles.

First, find 2/3 of 1 1/2 miles:

2/3 * 1 1/2 miles

To multiply fractions, multiply the numerators together and the denominators together:

(2/3) * (3/2) * 1 mile

Now, simplify the fractions:

(2/3) * (3/2) * 1 mile = (2/3) * (1) * 1 mile

Now, multiply the numerators:

(2 * 1) / (3 * 1) * 1 mile = 2/3 * 1 mile

Now, multiply 2/3 by 1 mile:

(2/3) * 1 mile = 2/3 mile

So, Abby jogged 2/3 mile before she stopped for a water break.

Answer 2

1 mile

Explanation:

In order to find out how many miles Abby jogged before she stopped for a water break, we can simply calculate 2/3 of a lap around Mansfield Park, which is 1 1/2 miles per lap.

`\sf (2)/(3) * 1 (1)/(2) = (2)/(3) * (3)/(2) miles`

Now, multiply the fractions:

`\sf (2 * 3 )/(3 * 2 )=(6)/(6)=1 mile`

So, Abby jogged 1 mile before she stopped for a water break.
