5x – 1 = 3x – 15

2x = - 14

Division Property of Equality (Divide both sides by 2)

Maddie biked 8 3/4 miles today, and Chase bikes 3 1/2 miles. How many times the length of Chase’s bike ride was Maddie’s bike ri

borishaifa [10]

Answer: 2.5 times

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : The length of Chase’s bike ride= $8\dfrac{3}{4}\ miles$

The length of Maddie’s bike ride= $3\dfrac{1}{2}\ miles$

In improper fraction : Length of Chase’s bike ride= $\dfrac{4(8)+3}{4}\ miles$

$=\dfrac{35}{4}\ miles$

Similarly , Length of Maddie’s bike ride= $\dfrac{7}{2}\ miles$

The number of times the length of Chase’s bike ride was Maddie’s bike ride= $\dfrac{\text{ Length of Chase’s bike ride}}{\text{ Length of Maddie’s bike ride}}$

$=\dfrac{\dfrac{35}{4}}{\dfrac{7}{2}}\\\\=\dfrac{5}{2}=2.5$

Hence, the length of Chase’s bike ride was 2.5 times Maddie’s bike ride.
