Answer 2

ANSWER:-

The first step in answering the question is to set up an equation using the information provided.

We know that Jake's total walk needs to equal 3/4 of a mile and he has only walked 2/3 of a mile so far plus has an unknown amount left to walk.

• STEP 1: Our equation is: m + 2/3 = 3/4 (the m standing for Miles).

• STEP 2: The next step is getting the variable m all by itself. To do that you need to combine 2/3 and 3/4 by using the opposite operation in the equation. So that means subtracting 2/3 from 3/4.

Our Equation now looks like: m = 2/3 - 3/4

STEP 3: To solve the equation we need to find the a common denominator so we can subtract our fractions. A common denominator for both 3 and 4 is twelve. Now we need to multiply the denominators by a number that will make them equal 12.

Remember what you do the bottom you must do the top,

2x4 = 8

3x3=9

3x4= 12

4x3= 12

2/3 now becomes 8/12 and 4/3 now becomes 9/12.

STEP 4: Now that we have found our common denominator we can subtract.

ow that we have found our common denominator we can subtract.

Now that we have found our common denominator we can subtract. m = 9/12 - 8/12

m = 1/12

THE ANSWER

Jake has 1/12 of a mile left to walk.

CHECK: To check the equation put the answer in place of the variable.

m = 9/12 - 8/12

1/12 + 2/3 = 3/4

1/12 + 8/12 = 9/12

9/12 CAN BE SIMPLIFIED TO 3/4. The answer checks out.
