Question

Jeremy walked 6/8 of the way to school and ran the rest of the way. What fraction in simplest form shows the part of the way that Jeremy walked?

Answer 1

This person ran 1/4 of the way

8/8-6/8= 2/8 = 1/4

Answer 2

Hi there!

If Jeremy walked 6/8 of the way to school and ran the rest we know that Jeremy ran 2/8 of the way. We can simplify this further to get to our simplest form.

6/8 ---> 3/4 Simplified.

So your answer is Jeremy walked 3/4 of the way.
