Question

Matthew travels two and one-half miles to get to

school. This is 3 times the distance that Jennifer
travels. How far does Jennifer travel?

Answer 1

Hey

Distance travelled by Jennifer is 10(1/2)

Explanation:

let x be the distance travelled by Mathew to school and equals (2+1(1/2)) miles.

Then Jennifer travels 3x

given x = 2+1 (1/2) = 3 (1/2) miles

distance travelled by Jennifer

= 3x = 3.3(1/2)

= 3.(7/2) = 21/2 = 10 (1/2) miles

Hope it helps!
