Your on a hike of 4 1/5 miles. How far have you gone when you hiked 1/3 of the way. Write your answer as a mixed number.
To find out how far you have gone when you hiked one-third of the way, we need to calculate one-third of 4 1/5 miles.
First, let's convert 4 1/5 miles to an improper fraction:
4 1/5 = (4 * 5 + 1)/5 = 21/5
Next, calculate one-third of 21/5:
(1/3) * (21/5) = 21/15 = 7/5
Finally, let's convert the improper fraction 7/5 back to a mixed number:
7 ÷ 5 = 1 remainder 2
The mixed number is 1 2/5 miles.
So, you have gone 1 2/5 miles when you hiked one-third of the way.
