Question

Carol and Peter walk to school. Carol walks 3/5 of a mile to walk to school,

Peter walks 0.65. Which student has a father walk?

Answer 1

For Carols situation, I divided one mile into 5 parts. 1 mile divided by 5 equals .2 miles. Since she walked 3/5 of a mile, I multiplied .2 with 3 which equals 0.6. Carol walked 0.6 Miles.

Peter walked 0.65 mile, so he walked .05 miles farther then Carol

Peter had a farther walk
