Becky lives 5 5/8 miles from school. Steve lives 1 5/9 times as far from the school as Becky. How far does Steve live from the school?



Answer :

Steve lives 1 5/9 as far as Becky so how far he lives should be 1 5/9(5 5/8) which is equal to 8.75 or 8 3/4 (I used a calculator but if you were to do this by hand it would be much easier to turn your mixed numbers into improper fractions)
