Russ walks 7/10 miles to school. How far has he walked when he has covered 5/8 of the distance to school?
If he walks 7/10 miles to school, and you want to find 5/8 of that distance, you have to multiply the 2 fractions together.
7/10 • 5/8 = 35/80 = 7/16
So he has walked 7/16 miles when he has covered 5/8 of the distance to school.
The distance traveled by Russ when he has covered 5/8 of the distance to school is \(\dfrac{7}{16}\ miles\).
Given to us
As it is given to us, Russ walks 7/10 miles to school. therefore,
\(\text{Distance of Russ' school} = \dfrac{7}{10} \times 1\ mile\)
Distance covered by Russ when he walks 5/8 of the distance to school,
\(=1\ mile \times \dfrac{7}{10} \times \dfrac{5}{8}\\\\= \dfrac{7}{2} \times \dfrac{1}{8}\\\\= \dfrac{7}{16} \ miles\)
Hence, the distance traveled by Russ when he has covered 5/8 of the distance to school is \(\dfrac{7}{16}\ miles\).
