Jade hiked 1 1/4 miles on the trail. Gretta hiked 1 1/2 times as far on the trail as Jade.
Jade hiked = [tex]1\frac{1}{4}= \frac{5}{4} miles[/tex]
Gretta hiked = [tex][tex]1\frac{1}{2} becomes \frac{3}{2}[/tex][/tex] times Jade hiked
So Gretta hiked = [tex]\frac{3}{2}*\frac{5}{4}[/tex]
To multiply two fractions, we multiply numerator with numerator and denominator with denominator
Gretta hiked = [tex]\frac{15}{8}=1\frac{7}{8}[/tex] miles
