A motor racing curcuit has length of 5 5/6 miles. A straight section of the curcuit has length of 1 1/4 miles. What fraction of the curcuit is the straight section m. Give your answer in its simplest form

3/14

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question, we are informed that a motor racing curcuit has length of 5 5/6 miles and a straight section of the curcuit has length of 1 1/4 miles.

To calculate the fraction of the curcuit that is the straight section m, we divide 1 1/4 miles by 5 5/6 miles. We need do convert the fractions to improper fraction first. This will be:

1 1/4 = 5/4 and 5 5/6 = 35/6

This will then be:

= 5/4 ÷ 35/6

= 5/4 × 6/35

= 30/140

= 3/14

60
