Jill lives 3 1/2 miles from school. One morning, her friend was giving her a ride. When they were 2/3 of the way to school, their car broke down and they had to walk the rest of the way. Draw a picture to help you figure out how far they walked.

We want to find the distance that Jill and her friend must walk, we will see that the distance is (1 + 1/6) miles

So the total distance of the travel is:

(3 + 1/2) miles.

2/3 of that distance are made in the car, then the other 1/3 is the distance that they must walk. A rough sketch of the situation is shown at the end.

Then we must solve:

(1/3)*(3 + 1/2) miles = ((1/3)*3 + (1/3)*(1/2)) miles

= (1 + 1/6) miles

So the distance that they must walk is (1 + 1/6) miles
