Jane walked 4/5 miles on Monday. On Tuesday, she walked 1/2 of the distance she walked on Monday. How many miles did Jane walk on Tuesday. Please explain how you got the answer.
To find how far she walked on Tuesday, you need to multiply (4/5)*(1/2). \(\frac{4}{5} * \frac{1}{2} = \frac{4*1}{5*2} = \frac{4}{10}\) miles. This can be simplified to \(\frac{2}{5}\) mile.
4/5 divided by 2 is 0.4 and it is equivalent to 4/10. 4/10 simplified would be 2/5 therefore the answer would be 2/5 of a mile.
