Question

Sonny walks 2/3 of a mile each day. How many miles does he walk after seven
days?

Answer 1

To find out how many miles Sonny walks after seven days, you can multiply the distance he walks each day by the number of days:

\[
\text{Total distance} = \text{Distance per day} \times \text{Number of days}
\]

In this case, Sonny walks \( \frac{2}{3} \) of a mile each day for 7 days:

\[
\text{Total distance} = \frac{2}{3} \text{ mile/day} \times 7 \text{ days}
\]

To do the multiplication:

\[
\text{Total distance} = \frac{2 \times 7}{3} = \frac{14}{3} \text{ miles}
\]

Now, we can convert \( \frac{14}{3} \) into a mixed number:

\[
\frac{14}{3} = 4 \frac{2}{3} \text{ miles}
\]

Therefore, Sonny walks \( \frac{14}{3} \) miles, or \( 4 \frac{2}{3} \) miles, after seven days.
