When she wants to go downtown, a woman walks 1/16 mile toa bus stop and catches a city bus. Last month, she walked a3/8 total of mile to the bus stop to catch the city bus. Howmany times did she catch the city bus last month?

Respuesta :

Notice that if we multiply the numerator and denominator by 2, we can write 3/8 like this:

[tex]\frac{3}{8}(\frac{2}{2})=\frac{6}{16}[/tex]

then,since the woman walk 1/16 mile each time she goes to the bus stop, then we have the following:

[tex]\frac{6}{16}=6\cdot(\frac{1}{16})[/tex]

therefore, the woman took the bus 6 times last month
