Question

On Wednesday Mr. Miles walked in right at 9/10 of the trail then he walked one eights of the trail back and you stop to rest what fraction of the course with Mr. Miles from the beginning of the trail when he stopped

Answer 1

31/40

Explanation:

Given that:

Fraction of the trail walked intulally = 9/10

Fraction of the trail walked back = 1/8 before stopping to rest

His current distance from the beginning :

Distance walked initially - distance walked back

9/10 - 1/8

The L. C. M of 10 and 8 = 80

Hence,

9/10 - 1/8

= (72 - 10) / 80

= 62 / 80

= 31 / 40

Hence, his rest point or position is 31/40 from the beginning of the trail
