The distance from my home to the park is 3/4 of a mile. This morning, I walked 3/8 of a mile. What fraction of the distance did I walk this morning?

Answer 1

Hi,

3/4 can also be written as an equivalent fraction of 6/8

3/8 divided by 6/8 is 1/2.

or as a decimal 3/8 is .375

6/8 is .75

.375 divided by .75 equals .5 or 1/2

you walked 1/2 of the distance from your home to the park
