Monica lives 8/10 of a mile from Wally and 3/4 of this distance from Adam. How far does Monica live from Adam?
(3/4)(4/5) = 12/20 = 3/5 mile
To find out how far Monica lives from Adam, we can start by calculating the distance between Monica and Wally.
Given that Monica lives 8/10 of a mile from Wally, we can multiply 8/10 by 1 mile, which gives us:
(8/10) * 1 mile = 8/10 mile
So, Monica lives 8/10 of a mile from Wally.
Next, we need to find out how far Monica lives from Adam, which is 3/4 of the distance between Monica and Wally.
To calculate this, we can multiply 8/10 mile (distance from Wally) by 3/4:
(8/10 mile) * (3/4) = (8 * 3) / (10 * 4) mile = 24/40 mile
Simplifying the fraction, we get:
24/40 mile = 3/5 mile
Therefore, Monica lives 3/5 of a mile from Adam.
To find out how far Monica lives from Adam, we need to calculate 3/4 of 8/10 of a mile.
First, we need to multiply the fractions:
8/10 * 3/4
To multiply fractions, multiply the numerators (top numbers) together and the denominators (bottom numbers) together:
8 * 3 = 24
10 * 4 = 40
So, 8/10 * 3/4 = 24/40
Now, we can simplify the fraction. Both 24 and 40 are divisible by 8:
24/40 = (24 ÷ 8) / (40 ÷ 8) = 3/5
Therefore, Monica lives 3/5 of a mile from Adam.
