Answer:
<em>.125 or 1/8</em>
Step-by-step explanation:
The question is looking for the difference divided by the long ride. The long ride is 6 1/4 miles, so now we need to find the difference.
In order to do this, we take the larger distance and subtract the smaller distance.
We would take (Tip: Use decimals when you can. They are easier to work with ) 6.25 - 5.5 and we get .75 or 3/4 of a mile.
Now, we put .75 over 6.25 and simplify.
.125 or 1/8
The sum of two numbers if just the numbers added together, so you would just need to do some simple algebra.
The ages added together are 68, and the opposite of addition is subtraction!
(total age) - (sarahs age) = (mothers age)
68 - 24 = 44
44 should be her mothers age!
(If you were trying to calculate the sum of their ages, you would just add them together, and 24 + 44 = 68)
The second one they do not have to pass trough (0,0)
