Question

It’s making me turn the fraction into an improper fraction and then after do it into one single fraction?? I don’t understand ):

Answer 1

Given: Rate is given as 330 miles in 4 1/2 hours.

Required: Write rate in simplest form.

Step-by-step explanation:

Distance is 330 miles.

Time = 4 1/2 hours = 9/2 hours.

So rate is

`\begin{gathered} (330)/((9)/(2))=(330*2)/(3) \\ =(110*2)/(3)=(220)/(3) \end{gathered}`

So, rate is 220/3 miles/hours.

Final Answer: Select box A, the rate is 220/3 miles/hours.
