Melina walked 9/12 mile each day for 5 days.
What is the total distance, in miles she walked in 5 days?
50 miles
To find the total distance Melina walked in 5 days, we need to multiply the distance she walked each day by the number of days.
Given that Melina walked 9/12 mile each day for 5 days, we can multiply 9/12 by 5:
(9/12) * 5 = (9 * 5) / 12 = 45/12
To simplify the fraction, we can divide both the numerator and denominator by their greatest common divisor, which is 3:
(45/3) / (12/3) = 15/4
So, the total distance Melina walked in 5 days is 15/4 miles.
5 * 9/12 = 5 * 3/4 (who says 9/12 anyway?)
= 15/4 = 3 3/4
