Question

Rick is on a bicycle trip. Every 444 days he bikes 230 \text{ km}230 km230, space, k, m.If Rick keeps this same pace for 161616 days, how many kilometers will he bike?

Answer 1

For this problem, we use the approach of ratio and proportion. Assuming that the given ratio of 444 days per 230 km is constant all throughout, we can determine the number of days or distance as long as one of the two is given. In this case, the solution is as follows:

444 days/230 km = 161616 days/distance
Distance = 83,720 km
