Russ walks
7/10
mile to school.
How far has he walked when he has covered

5/8
of the distance to school?

A.

5/16
mile

B.

2/5
mile

C.
7/16
mile

D.
7/8
mile

7/16 mile

Step-by-step explanation:

To know the estimated distance RUSS has walked to school after covering 5/8 of the total distance, we just Multiply the both fractions.

And note, 'of' here implies Multiplication.

Therefore, Russ total covered distance is :

7/10 of 5/8

= 7/10 * 5/8

= 7/2 * 1/ 8

= 7 / 2*8

= 7/ 16 mile
