Question

Mai biked 7 and 1/4 miles today, and Noah biked 3 5/8 miles. How many times the length of Noah's bike ride was Mai's bike ride?

Answer 1

Answer:

The distance cover by Mai's bike is 2 time the distance cover by Noah's bike

Step-by-step explanation:

Given as :

The distance cover by Mai's bike = $d_1$ = 7 $\dfrac{1}{4}$ miles

I.e $d_1$ = $\dfrac{28+1}{4}$ miles

Or, $d_1$ = $\dfrac{29}{4}$ miles

The distance cover by Noah's bike = $d_2$ = 3 $\dfrac{5}{8}$ miles

I.e $d_2$ = $\dfrac{24 + 5}{8}$ miles

Or,  $d_2$ = $\dfrac{29}{8}$ miles

let the number of times that Noah's bike ride was Mai's bike ride = n

So, The distance cover by Mai's bike = n × The distance cover by Noah's bike

Or, $d_$ = n ×  $d_$

Or, $\dfrac{29}{4}$ miles =  n × $\dfrac{29}{8}$ miles

Or, n = $\frac{\frac{29}{4}}{\frac{29}{8}}$

∴ n = $\dfrac{8}{4}$

I.e n = 2

Hence The distance cover by Mai's bike is 2 time the distance cover by Noah's bike  . Answer
