Question

a community bike ride offers a short 5.7 mile ride for children and families. the short ride is followed by a long ride, 5 2/3 times as long as the short ride, for adults. if a woman bikes the short ride with her children, and then the long ride with friends. how many miles does she ride together?

Answer 1

First multiply 5.7 by 5 2/3 to figure out how long the adult ride is: 5.7/1 X 17/3= 32.3. Then add the adult ride and the children's ride together: 5.7+32.3=38 (7+3=10 which adds 1 to the whole number). The mom would ride 38 miles :)

Answer 2

38 miles

Further explanation

Given:

A community bike ride offers a short 5.7-mile ride for children and families.

The short ride is followed by a long ride, 5²/₃ times as long as the short ride, for adults.

A woman bikes the short ride with her children, and then the long ride with friends.

Question:

How many miles does she ride together?

The Process:

Let us make a pattern for the short ride:

$\boxed{5.7} \rightarrow in \ miles$

Let us do a multiplication on a fraction at first.

$\boxed{ \ = \frac{2}{3} \times 5.7 \ }$

$\boxed{ \ = \frac{2}{3} \times 5\frac{7}{10} \ }$

$\boxed{ \ = \frac{2}{3} \times \frac{57}{10} \ }$

We crossed out 3 and 57.

$\boxed{ \ = 2 \times \frac{19}{10} \ }$

$\boxed{\boxed{ \ = 3.8 \ }}$

Then we make a pattern for the long ride, 5²/₃ (five and two third) times as long as the short ride:

$\boxed{5.7}\boxed{5.7}\boxed{5.7}\boxed{5.7}\boxed{5.7}\boxed{3.8} \rightarrow in \ miles$

A woman bikes the short ride with her children, and then the long ride with friends. Let's calculate how many miles does she ride together.

• The short ride: $\boxed{5.7 \ miles}$
• The long ride: $\boxed{(5.7 \times 5) + 3.8 = 28.5 + 3.8 = 32.3 \ miles}$

$\boxed{ \ 5.7 + 32.3 = 38}$

Thus, she rides 38 miles together.
