It’s making me turn the fraction into an improper fraction and then after do it into one single fraction?? I don’t understand ):

Answer 1

Given: Rate is given as 330 miles in 4 1/2 hours.

Required: Write rate in simplest form.

Explanation:

Distance is 330 miles.

Time = 4 1/2 hours = 9/2 hours.

So rate is

$\begin{gathered} \frac{330}{\frac{9}{2}}=\frac{330\times2}{3} \\ =\frac{110\times2}{3}=\frac{220}{3} \end{gathered}$

So, rate is 220/3 miles/hours.

Final Answer: Select box A, the rate is 220/3 miles/hours.
