Question 710705: John walked ¾ the distance of Bob. If Bob walked 3 ¼ miles, how far did John walk?
Answer by tutor_paul(519) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
To find this, just solve the following:
(3/4)*(3 1/4)
First turn the mixed number into an improper fraction:
3 1/4 = 13/4
Then multiply this by 3/4:
(3/4)*(13/4) = 39/16 miles
Turn this into a mixed number and you are done:
2 7/16 miles
