Austin is going to the to movie theater. 3 3\5 miles from his house Austin take scooter but breaks it down so 2/3 of the way the theater how far Austin is from his house

Answer : 2 2/5 (2.4) miles

3 3/5 (I’ll refer to it as 3.6 mi) is the total distance. There are different ways to solve this, the easiest being to multiply 3 3/5 by 2/3. However, a more broken down way to think about it is this:

Find 1/3 of 3.6 mi by dividing it by 3. That means 1/3 of the distance is 1.2 miles.

If Austin is 2/3 of the way, then he must be 2.4 mi away from home (1.2 x 2 = 2.4)

So your final answer, in fraction form, is 2 2/5.

The answer is actually b. explanation: lines that signify human-like characteristics: “a half a dozen kissed the eves”raindrops don’t usually ‘kiss’ anything, as it is a human action. lines that signify playfulness: “and made the gables laugh” a gable is the part of a wall that encloses a pitched roof, so it is certainly not living and cannot really laugh. this is a human characteristic and signifies playfulness.
