Sagot :
One days trip of to school from home and back home from school is 2/3 of a mile. We want to know how far it is to school from her house.
To solve this, we simply need to take half of the total distance (2/3)
[tex] \frac{2}{3} / 2[/tex]
Next, we need to turn the 2 into a fraction. Every whole number can be made into a fraction by putting it over 1.
[tex]\frac{2}{3} / \frac{2}{1} [/tex]
Because we are dividing, we need to invert the second fraction and then multiply.
[tex]\frac{2}{3} * \frac {1}{2}[/tex]
Next, we multiply the top of the first fraction by the top of the second and the bottom of the first fraction by the bottom of the second.
[tex] \frac{2}{6} [/tex]
Once you reduce, you get:
[tex] \frac{1}{3} [/tex]
