Answer :
Answer:
Total distance mouse traveled in 3 hours = [tex]\frac{3}{24}[/tex] of a mile
The mouse traveled the same distance in each hour. So in order to find the distance covered in 1 hour we have to divide the distance covered in 3 hours by 3. This will give us the distance that the mouse traveled in one hour.
So, the distance traveled in one hour will be = [tex]\frac{3}{24} \div 3 = \frac{3}{24} \times \frac{1}{3} =\frac{1}{24}[/tex] of a mile
The error which Matt made was that he divided only the denominator of the expression by 3, this probably was a calculation error.
Correct conclusion will be: Mouse travel 1/24 of a mile each hour
Answer:
Matt should have divided 3 by 3, not 24 by 3. (C.)
Step-by-step explanation:
since its a whole number you do not divide it at all.
