Answer 1

3

Explanation:

Answer 2

3 1/2 or 3.5

Explanation:

We have to divide to see how many times her monday's distance was her tuesdays distance.

`6(3)/(10)/ \:1(4)/(5)`

`=(63)/(10)/ (9)/(5)`

`\mathrm{Apply\:the\:fraction\:rule}:\quad (a)/(b)/ (c)/(d)=(a)/(b)* (d)/(c)`

`=(63)/(10)* (5)/(9)`

`\mathrm{Multiply\:fractions}:\quad (a)/(b)* (c)/(d)=(a\:* \:c)/(b\:* \:d)`

`=(63* \:5)/(10* \:9)`

`=(315)/(10* \:9)`

`=(315)/(90)`

`\mathrm{Cancel\:the\:common\:factor:}\:45`

`=(7)/(2)`

`=3(1)/(2)`

we can also be 3.5 in decimal form
