• A. 0.5 miles
• B. 1.5 miles
• C. 2 miles
• D. 2.5 miles

Answer 1

The correct option is B 1.5 miles

$\text{Distance traveled by Eva}$ $\text{=}\frac{9}{6}\text{miles}$

$\text{Let's convert the fraction into its}$ $\text{simplest form.}$

$⟹\frac{9}{6}=$ $\frac{9÷3}{6÷3}=\frac{3}{2}$

$\text{To convert this fraction into a}$ $\text{decimal value, we will multiply}$ $\text{the numerator and the denominator}$ $\text{with 5.}$

$⟹\frac{3\times 5}{2\times 5}=\frac{15}{10}$

$⟹\frac{15}{10}=1.5$

$\text{Hence, the distance traveled by Eva in}$ $\text{decimals is 1.5 miles.}$
