Divide.

1 2/3 / 1/3

Or multiply by its reciprocal 3/1:

1 2/3 3/1

Convert 1 2/3 into an improper fraction:

5/3 3/1 = 15/3 = 5

Every \(\frac{1}{3}\) mile, there is a place to rest

The trail is \(1 \frac{2}{3}\) miles long

Change the length of the trail into an improper fraction

\(1 \frac{2}{3} = \frac{5}{3}\) | which you get by multiplying the 1 and three then add the to and place it over three

Now you divide the length of the trail by the length of the places for breaks

\(\frac{5}{3}\)÷\(\frac{1}{3}\) |flip flop the second fraction then multiply

\(\frac{5}{3} * \frac{3}{1}\)=\(\frac{15}{3}\)

Now divide the numerator (to) by the denominator (bottom)

15÷3=5

Answer:

There are five places to rest along the trail
