To do this, first convert 1 mile to 5280 ft to make it easier. Now to find 5/6 of 5280 (remember 'of ' means to multiply) turn 5/6 into .833333 (3 repeating) and multiply that by  5280 to get 4400. That means last weekend Carla walked 4400 ft. Now to find what she walked this weekend, turn 1/3 into .33333 (3 repeating) and multiply that by 4400. You should get 1466.6666 ( 6 repeating) or 1466 and 2/3 ft as the distance Carla walked this weekend.

To do this multiply the fractions. Multiply the fractions because she walked 1/3 as far as last weekend, so she walked 1/3 of what she walked, and multiplying will help you find the answer.
5*1=5
6*3=18
5/18 is the answer
