f it takes 5 3/4 hours to get from point A to point B and you have already traveled 1/3 of the way, how much longer will you travel?
\n" ); document.write( "I converted 5 3/4 to and improper fraction 23/4 \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Here is your mistake \"multiplied it by the reciprocal of 1/3\"
\n" ); document.write( "You have already traveled 1/3 therefore you have 2/3 to go, hence
\n" ); document.write( "\"2%2F3\" * \"23%2F4\" = \"46%2F12\" = 3\"10%2F12\" reduces to 3\"5%2F6\"
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
