Answer/Step-by-step explanation:
The rail = [tex] 14\frac{2}{3} miles [/tex]
She stops after every [tex] 3\frac{1}{5}miles [/tex] for a drink.
The number of times she stopped for a drink = [tex] \frac{14\frac{2}{3}}{3\frac{1}{5}} [/tex]
Change the fractions to improper fractions
[tex] \frac{\frac{44}{3}}{\frac{16}{5}} [/tex]
Change the division operation to multiplication, and then flip the fraction on your right upside down.
[tex] \frac{44}{3} \times \frac{5}{16} [/tex]
[tex] \frac{44 \times 5}{3 \times 16} [/tex]
[tex] \frac{220}{48} = 4.58 [/tex]
If we approximate this to the nearest whole number, we would have an estimate of 5.
✅Therefore, we can conclude that Michaela stopped 5 times.
The estimate given by Issac and Jake is omitted in the question. However, the person who got an estimate of 5 is the person who made a better estimate.
