john's house is 12 miles way from school. he is 2/ of the way home. how many miles has he walked
To find out how many miles John has walked, we need to determine 2/3 of the total distance from school to home.
Given that John's house is 12 miles away from school, we can calculate the total distance as follows:
Total distance = 12 miles
To find 2/3 of the total distance:
2/3 × Total distance = 2/3 × 12 miles
Simplifying the expression:
2/3 × 12 miles = (2 × 12) / 3 miles
Multiplying first:
(2 × 12) = 24
Then, dividing:
24 / 3 = 8
Therefore, John has walked 8 miles.
To calculate how many miles John has walked, we need to find 2/3 of the total distance between his house and school, which is 12 miles.
To do this, we can use the following calculation:
Distance walked = (2/3) * Total distance
Distance walked = (2/3) * 12 miles
Now, let's perform the calculation:
Distance walked = (2/3) * 12 miles
Distance walked = (2/3) * 12 miles
Distance walked = 8 miles
Therefore, John has walked 8 miles.
