Terence travels [tex]\frac{5}{8}[/tex] of the length of a hiking trail
To find: Distance travelled by Terence
Solution:
Whole numbers refer to natural numbers together with 0.
A fraction represents a part of a whole.
A whole number and a fraction combined into mixed fraction.
Distance travelled by Terence = [tex]\frac{5}{8}(3\frac{4}{5})=\frac{5}{8}(\frac{19}{5})=\frac{19}{5}=2.375\,\,miles[/tex]
