Answer:
Mary runs 5 miles a day. Two-thirds of this distance is through the woods. So, Mary was in the wood on her run for 3.33 miles
Solution:
From question, given that:
Number of miles run by Mary in a day = 5
Also given that two third of the distance is through woods.
It means two third of the distance run by Mary in a day is through woods.
So two third of 5 miles run by Mary is through woods
Two third of 5 miles = [tex]\frac{2}{3} \times 5 = \frac{10}{3}[/tex] = 3.33
= 3.33 miles
Hence for 3.33 miles, Mary was in the wood on her run.
