Answer : 2 2/5 (2.4) miles
3 3/5 (I’ll refer to it as 3.6 mi) is the total distance. There are different ways to solve this, the easiest being to multiply 3 3/5 by 2/3. However, a more broken down way to think about it is this:
Find 1/3 of 3.6 mi by dividing it by 3. That means 1/3 of the distance is 1.2 miles.
If Austin is 2/3 of the way, then he must be 2.4 mi away from home (1.2 x 2 = 2.4)
So your final answer, in fraction form, is 2 2/5.
