Answer:

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
