Question

Jane walked 4/5 miles on Monday. On Tuesday, she walked 1/2 of the distance she walked on Monday. How many miles did Jane walk on Tuesday. Please explain how you got the answer.

Answer 1

4/5 divided by 2 is 0.4 and it is equivalent to 4/10. 4/10 simplified would be 2/5 therefore the answer would be 2/5 of a mile.

Answer 2

To find how far she walked on Tuesday, you need to multiply (4/5)*(1/2).
`(4)/(5) * (1)/(2) = (4*1)/(5*2) = (4)/(10)` miles. This can be simplified to
`(2)/(5)` mile.
