Question

boatesville 65 3/5 long a drive from Stanton a bus traveling from Stanton to boatesville is 24 1/3 km from boatesville how far has the vu traveled

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

-FIRST STEP:

We must convert the mixed fractions to improper

-SECOND STEP:

We must do exactly a subtraction of fractions to know how far the bus is.

-THIRD STEP:

To convert a mixed fraction to improper we must multiply the integer by the denominator and then the result is added to the numerator.

`\begin{gathered} 1.\text{Mixed fraction to improper fraction;} \\ 65(3)/(5)=(328)/(5) \\ 24(1)/(3)\text{ }=(73)/(3) \\ \text{Now }we\text{ only have }improper\text{ fractions;} \\ 2\text{.We only }subtract\colon \\ (328)/(5)\text{ }-(73)/(3)=((328*3)-(5*73))/((5*3))\text{ }=(984-365)/(15)\text{ }=(619)/(15) \\ the\text{ bus has traveled }a\text{ total of }(619)/(15) \end{gathered}`

Now If we convert the result into a mixed fraction then the answer as a mixed fraction is:

`\begin{gathered} (619)/(15)\text{ }=123(4)/(5) \\ \text{the answer as mixed fraction is: 123 }(4)/(5)the\text{ bus has traveled}. \end{gathered}`
