Answer:
13/15 of 1 mile, or 0.86666 miles
Explanation:
If you are working with fractions, you can take the 2 3/5 miles of beach and convert that to 13/5 (10/5 = 2, then add the 3/5 = 10/5+3/5 = 13/5). Once converted, you can find out how much of that number allows pets by dividing that number by 3, or multiplying the result by 1/3.
13/5 * 1/3 = 13/15.
Another way to do this is to convert the original miles (2 3/5) to a decimal, which gives you 2.6 miles. Then take the 2.6 miles and again, either divide by 3 or multiply by 1/3 (which is basically the same thing). 2.6 ÷ 3 = 0.86666
Hope this helps!
