Problem solving using a diagram

Question

Finn walks 1 mile to the grocery store. When he is halfway back home from the store, a friend picks him up and drives him the rest of the way. What fraction of Finn's round-trip to the grocery store did he not walk?

Answer 1

Dionne,

 

You have 2 half going and 2 half coming back.

You have 4 half all together.

Of the 4 half Finn walked 3 of them

Finn walked 3/4 of the trip

And Finn got a ride for 1/4 of the trip

I hope this helps
