Translating for numbers, we have:


(1)/(5)=0,2\rightarrow3(1)/(5)=3,2

This way, we can make what follows:


Day_1+Day_2=3(1)/(5)+4=3,2+4=7,2_{}

Calculating now the amount is needed to complete the 9 miles:


Day_3=9-7,2\text{ = 1,8}

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

And from here, the solution with the fractions.

We can start with the sum of what Shelly has biked in the first two days:


Day_1+Day_2=3(1)/(5)+4=7(1)/(5)_{}

This is the amount of mile she has already biked. But we know she needs to complete all the 9 miles in the third day. So, the difference from 9 and the amount she already did is the amount she needs to bike in the third day.


\text{Day}_3\text{ = 9 - 7}(1)/(5)\text{ = 1}(4)/(5)
