Question

On a adventure trail, you biked 12 mi, walked 4 mi, ran 6 mi, and swam 2 mi. What fraction of the total distance did you bike? Write this number as a decimal.

Answer 1

First you want to add all of those together.
12 + 4 + 6 + 2 = 24
So there are 24 miles in total.
Next, it says she biked 12 miles so you make a fraction.
12 / 24 which can be reduced to 1/2.
She spent one half of the total distance biking.
Hope this helps!
