Jade ran 6 times around her neighborhood to complete a total of 1 mile. How many times will she need to run to complete 5/6 of a mile?
(5/6) * 6 = 30/6 = 5
Never mind found the answer here already
I do not know the answer help me please
To find out how many times Jade will need to run to complete 5/6 of a mile, we can set up a proportion based on the fraction of a mile she completed with the number of times she ran.
First, let's find out how many times Jade ran to complete 1 mile. If running 6 times around her neighborhood equals 1 mile, then we can set up the proportion:
1 mile / 6 times = (5/6) mile / x times
To solve for x, we can cross multiply:
1 times (5/6) mile = 6 times x
5/6 mile = 6x
Now, divide both sides by 6:
(5/6 mile) / 6 = x
5/36 mile = x
So Jade will need to run 5/36 of a mile to complete 5/6 of a mile.
