the trail that Joe jogs is 3/5 mile long.Only 1/9 of the trail is paved.how long is the paved section of the trail.

thank you very much. i have problems with this math because my mom cant help me.

You're very welcome.

3/5 x 1/9 =3/45=1/9

3/45 = 1/15

To find the length of the paved section of the trail, we need to multiply the length of the entire trail by the fraction representing the portion that is paved.

Given that the trail is 3/5 mile long and only 1/9 of the trail is paved, we can calculate the length of the paved section as follows:

Paved section length = Total trail length * Fraction of the trail that is paved

Paved section length = (3/5) * (1/9)

To perform this calculation, we can simplify the fractions:

Paved section length = (3 * 1) / (5 * 9)

Now, let's multiply the numerator and denominator:

Paved section length = 3 / 45

Since 3 and 45 have a common factor of 3, we can simplify further:

Paved section length = 1 / 15

Therefore, the paved section of the trail is 1/15 of a mile long.

Come on, Ritzy! I showed you how to do a couple of these problems. Now it's your turn.

I'll be glad to check your answer.
