Question

Dale is riding on a bike course that is miles long. So far, he has ridden miles of the course. What percentage of the course has Dale ridden so far?

Answer 1

Answer:

40%

Step-by-step explanation:

Total distance to be covered with the bike ride = 45 miles

Distance covered till now = 18 miles.

Percentage covered = $\frac{distance \\ covered}{Total \\ distance}$

Therefore as a percentage it shall be = $\frac{18}{45} = 0.4$

Since percentages are presented in whole numbers, the result of division shall be multiplied with  100.

Accordingly, total distance covered in percentage = 0.4 $\times$ 100 =  40%
