Question

Mai biked 6 3/4 miles today, and Noah biked 4 1/2 miles. How many times the length of Noah’s bike ride was Mai’s bike ride ?

Answer 1

6 3/4 ÷ 4 1/2 = 3/2= 1 1/2

Answer 2

Answer:

1.5 times.

Step-by-step explanation:

Givens:

• Mai biked $6\frac{3}{4} \ mi$
• Noah biked $4\frac{1}{2} \ mi$

So, to know how many times the length of Noah's bike ride was Mai's bike ride, we can use the following equation:

$6\frac{3}{4} \ mi=x(4\frac{1}{2} \ mi)\\\frac{27}{4}=\frac{9}{2}x\\ x=\frac{54}{36}=\frac{3}{2}=1.5$

Therefore, Mai biked 1.5 times more miles than Noah.
