The distance between Rosa's house and her school is 4 1/2 of a mile. She ran 3 mile. What fraction of the distance between her house and her school, did Rosa run?

Respuesta :

Answer:

Rosa ran [tex]\frac{2}{3}[/tex] of the total distance between her house and her school.

Step-by-step explanation:

Distance between Rosa's house and her school = [tex]4\frac{1}{2}[/tex] miles ≈ 4.5 miles

She ran distance = 3 miles

Therefore, fraction of the total distance between her house and school she run = [tex]\frac{\text{Distance run by Rosa}}{\text{Total distance between her house and school}}[/tex]

      = [tex]\frac{3}{4.5}[/tex]

      = [tex]\frac{30}{45}[/tex]

      = [tex]\frac{2}{3}[/tex]

Therefore, Rosa ran [tex]\frac{2}{3}[/tex] of the total distance between her house and her school.
