ANSWER:
The distance walked by the Sid is 3.87 miles.
SOLUTION:
Given, walking trail has a length of 2.9 miles.
Sid walked the length of the walking trail [tex]1 \frac{1}{3}[/tex] times.
We need to find the distance traveled by Sid in miles.
First let's convert the given mixed fraction into improper fraction.
[tex]1 \frac{1}{3}=\frac{1 \times 3+1}{3}[/tex]
[tex]1 \frac{1}{3}=\frac{4}{3}[/tex]
Now, the distance walked by Sid = [tex]\frac{4}{3}[/tex] [tex]\times[/tex] length of walking trail
Distance walked = [tex]\frac{4}{3} \times 2.9[/tex]
[tex]=\frac{4 \times 2,9}{3}[/tex]
[tex]=\frac{11.6}{3}[/tex] = 3.87 miles
Hence, the distance walked by the Sid is 3.87 miles.
