mile to school.

How far has he walked when he has covered

5/8

of the distance to school?

A.

5/16

mile

B.

2/5

mile

C.

7/16

mile

D.

7/8

mile

C. 7/16 is the answer

Step-by-step explanation:

0.7mi x 5/8 = 0.4375 = 7/16

^0.7 is from the 7/10 mile to school

7/16 mile

Step-by-step explanation:

To know the estimated distance RUSS has walked to school after covering 5/8 of the total distance, we just Multiply the both fractions.

And note, 'of' here implies Multiplication.

Therefore, Russ total covered distance is:

7/10 of 5/8

= 7/10 * 5/8

= 7/2 * 1 / 8

= 7 / 2*8

= 7 / 16 mile
