Question 1045704: I am stumped on this word problem. If 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?
I converted 5 3/4 to and improper fraction 23/4 and multiplied it by the reciprical of 1/3 and got an answer of 69/4.
here is my problem because the answer key has an answer of 3 5/6. Can you help me?
You can put this solution on YOUR website! we want to divide 5.75 by 3 = 1.9167 approx 1.92(that's how long you have traveled), then
:
5.75 - 1.92 = 3.83
:
*********************************
You will travel 3.83 hours longer
:
note that 3 5/6 is approx 3.83

I converted 5 3/4 to and improper fraction 23/4
Here is your mistake "multiplied it by the reciprocal of 1/3"
You have already traveled 1/3 therefore you have 2/3 to go, hence * = = 3 reduces to 3
