Respuesta :

Answer:

14 / 12 miles or 1 1/6 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

A group of campers walked 4 2/3 miles along a hiking trail.

Distance = 4 2/3 miles

Another group of campers walked 1/4 of that distance with the first group before turning off onto another trail.

That is; 1/4 of 4 2/3 miles

How many miles did the two groups of campers walk with one another ?

This is obtained by solving 1/4 of 4 2/3 miles

Converting 4 2/3 to an improper fraction;

4 2/3 = 14 / 3 Miles

1/4 of 14 / 3

1 / 4 * 14 / 3

= 14 / 12 miles or 1 1/6 miles
