A: 39 1/5 km

B:1 1/5km
D 4/35km

Eli chose A as the correct answer. How did he get that answer?

Answer 1

Answer:

Jeremy swims 4/5 of a kilometer each day.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since 5 3/5 can be turned into 28/5, then divided by 7/1, you will get 4/5. So Jeremy swims 4/5 of a kilometer each day.

Eli got his answer by multipying 5 3/5 by 7 which was an incorrect process.
