Question

Ava,Jayden,Edwina,Lexi,Luis,and Trina are helping clean up a hiking trail, the trail is 10 miles long. Each person is in charge of an equal part of the trail.what fraction of the trail is Ava in charge of? Write answer in simplest form.

Answer 1

Answer:
`1(2)/(3)\ miles`of the trail.

Explanation:

Given: The number of students = 6

The length of trial = 10 miles

If each person is in charge of an equal part of the trail.

Then, the fraction of the trail is each student in charge of =
`\frac{\text{Length of trial}}{\text{Number of students}}`

`=(10)/(6)=(5)/(3)=1(2)/(3)\ miles`

Therefore, Ava is in charge of
`1(2)/(3)\ miles`of the trail.

Answer 2

Given:
Ava, Jayden, Edwina, Lexi, Luis, and Trina = 6 students
10 mile long trail

10 miles ÷ 6 students = 1 4/6 miles

1 4/6 miles simplified to 1 2/3 miles.

Each student is in charge of 1 2/3 miles of the trail.
