mathmale · Answer

How far does Chico walk?      that's given; it's 3/5 mile, or $$\frac{ 3mile }{ 5 }.$$

mathmale · Answer

We compare the distances that these two peoople walk.  Nikki walks  only a quarter as far as does Chico.

This calls for us to multiply$$\frac{ 3mile }{ 5 }.by.\frac{ 1 }{ 4 }$$
