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

Respuesta :

Answer:

3/14

Step-by-step explanation:

1 1/4 can be written as 5/4

5 5/6 can be written as 35/6

so divide (5/4)/(35/6)

= (5/4)*(6/35)

=(1/4)*(6/7)

=6/28

simplified = 3/14
