Question #5b6c0

Answer 1

He has run `5/6` of a mile.

Explanation:

The fact that a distance has been given as an improper fraction looks a bit odd, but it should not worry you at all. It just means that the trail is 1.25 (or `1 1/4`) miles long.

We need to find `2/3` of the length.

`2/3 xx5/4 = cancel2/3 xx 5/cancel4^2`

=`5/6`
