Question

Charlotte wants to swim 50 miles this school year she plans to swim 1/4 miles each day how many days Will it take her to swim 50 miles

Answer 1

You want to multiply 50 by 1/4. To do this you do 50/1 x 1/4 and use cancellation. (Although in this situation you can’t cancel out anything) the answer is 12 2/4 but in simplest terms it is 12 1/2
