Question

A running track is one kilometer long. If I jog 1/6 km, and run 2/3 km, will I complete the full distance of the track? If not, how much distance is left to cover?

Answer 1

Answer:

1/6 is the distance left to cover

Step-by-step explanation:

A kilometer is equal to 1 whole. In this scenario, you jog 1/6, and 2/3. Since 6 is a multiple of 3, we can use the common denominator to convert 2/3 into 4/6. Then we can our two distances, 4/6 and 1/6, to get a total of 5/6.

Then subtract from the whole.

$\frac{6}{6} -\frac{5}{6}=\frac{1}{6}$
