Alfredo walked 24 miles in the walk-a-thon. His friend Terence walked 1/3 as many miles. How many miles did Terence walk?
I really don't understand this problem could someone help me.
Terence walked 1/3 as many miles as Alfredo so you divide 24 with 3. This equals 8. Therefore, Terence walked 8 miles.
Terence walked 1/3 as far as Alfredo.
(1/3) * (24/1) = 24/3 = 8 miles
Check: Terence walked 8 miles. Alfredo walked 24 miles.
3 times 8 = 24

To solve this problem, you need to multiply Alfredo's distance by 1/3 to find out how many miles Terence walked. Here's how you can do it step by step:
Step 1: Find 1/3 of Alfredo's distance.
To find 1/3 of something, you divide that something by 3. So, divide Alfredo's distance by 3.
24 miles รท 3 = 8 miles
Step 2: Terence walked 8 miles.
