Monday: / = .
Tuesday . / = . = /
Jane walked . miles on Tuesday.
OR
Jane walked / miles on Tuesday.
/ * / = / = /
Okay.. on monday she did /
on tuesday she did HALF of that. And / = One half, right?
/ x / = /
If you want to simplify it, it can become / miles
That’s a very simple explanation. I hope I helped 🙂
/ mile on both days
/ mile on Tuesday
The answer is / of a mile.
In math the word “of” implies multiplication.
So, for Monday we see that Jane walked:
/ of (or times) mile. This equation is expressed as (/) x (/) mile=d (for distance)
or, (x)/(x) mile=d
and we have, (/) mile=d or (.) mile decimal
For Tuesday we have: (/) of (or times) (/) mile=d
or, (x)/(x) mile=d
and we have, (/) mile=d or (.) mile decimal
It appears from the wording of the question that they require the the total distance that Jane walked
which would be d+ d or, (.) mile + (.) mile = d(total)= (.) miles
Remember “of” means times in word problems and it may make things easier to figure out.
multiply / x to get /, then / x to get /, then add them together to.get /, now simplify to get /
I think this is right: . miles because / = . and / of that = ., . + .= ..
