Question

Yanni through his paper airplane 15 1/2 feet. Adrian through his paper airplane 3/4 of Yanni's distance. What is the distance Adrian through his paper airplane? Explain how you found your answer.

Answer 1

so you need to calculi the 3/4 part of 15 1/2 feet to get the Adrian through his paper airplane

15 1/2 = (2*15+1)/2 = 31/2 so the 3/4 part of 31/2 will be x so

x = 3/4 *31/2 = (3*31)/(4*2) = 93/8

x = 93/8

so Adrian through his paper airplane has a distance of 93/8 feet what is equal

93/8 = 11 5/8
