the store is 5/6 mile from yuri's house. the bank is 2/5 the distance from yuri's house to the store, how many miles is the bank from yuris house
Answer:
\(The\ bank\ from\ yuris\ house\ is \frac{1}{3}\ miles.\)
Step-by-step explanation:
As given
\(The\ store\ is\ \frac{5}{6}\ mile\ from\ yuri's\ house.\)
\(The\ bank\ is\ \frac{2}{5}\ the\ distance\ from\ yuri's\ house\ to\ the\ store.\)
Than
\(The\ bank\ from\ yuris\ house = \frac{2}{5}\times (distance\ from\ yuri's\ house\ to\ the\ store) }\)
\(The\ bank\ from\ yuris\ house = \frac{2\times 5}{5\times 6}\)
\(The\ bank\ from\ yuris\ house = \frac{10}{30}\)
\(The\ bank\ from\ yuris\ house = \frac{1}{3}\ miles\)
\(Therefore\ the\ bank\ from\ yuris\ house\ is \frac{1}{3}\ miles\)
