Question

Molly hikes 1/6 mile every day.
To hike a total of 11/6 miles, she would have to hike for____ days. To hike a total of 1/3 of a mile, she would have to hike for____ days.

Answer 1

she hikes 1/6 a day, to get 11/6 , she would have to hike 11 days

to hike 1/3 of a mile

1/3 / 1/6 = 1/3 * 6/1 = 6/3 = 2

 so she would have to hike 2 days

Answer 2

Answer:

11 days and 2 days

Step-by-step explanation:

Molly hikes every day = $\frac{1}{6}$ miles

She would take days to hike total $\frac{11}{6}$ miles = $\frac{\frac{11}{6} }{\frac{1}{6} }$

= $\frac{11}{6}$ ×  $\frac{6}{1}$ = 11 days.

To hike a total  $\frac{1}{3}$ of a mile she would have to hike = $\frac{\frac{1}{3} }{\frac{1}{6} }$

$\frac{1}{3}$ ×  $\frac{6}{1}$ = 2 days

To hike a total of  $\frac{11}{6}$, she would have to hike for 11 days. To hike a total of  $\frac{1}{3}$ of a mile, she would have to hike for 2 days
