The Cocozzelli family drove their car for five and five-sixths days to reach their vacation home, and then drove for six and one-sixth days to return home. How much longer did it take them to drive home?

Respuesta :

2/6 (two sixth)

Explanation:

Days it took them to reach the vacation home = five and five-sixths days

In fraction = 5 5/6

In fraction = 35/6

Number of days to return home = six and one-sixth days to return home

In fraction = 6 1/6

In fraction = 37/6

Time it took to drive home = days it took to return home - days it took to get to vacation home

[tex]\begin{gathered} \frac{37}{6}-\frac{35}{6} \\ \end{gathered}[/tex][tex]\text{Time it took to drive home= }\frac{2}{6}[/tex]

In simplest form: 1/3

It took the Cocozzelli family one third of a day or two-sixth of a day to get home
